     I have a new project
      In it, I want to scrape hacker news data.
      The project will be built in python.
      I want to search first what are the latest projects in python that could help me extract the data. This could be via api or scraping it.

      I found several solid options for extracting Hacker News data in Python:
    
      Best Options Found:

        - Source: https://github.com/HackerNews/API
      2. haxor - Most popular Python wrapper for the official API
        - Source: https://github.com/avinassh/haxor
        - Install: pip install haxor
      3. DIY Scraping - BeautifulSoup + Requests/httpx for data not in the API

      Now, here are my 10 questions to help define your project structure:
    ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    ←   Data Source   Data Types   Storage   Use Case   Submit  →
    
    Do you want to use the official HN API (recommended, no rate limits) or scrape the website directly?
    
     1. Official API (Recommended)
         Use Firebase-based API - reliable, real-time, no rate limits
      2. Web Scraping
         Scrape HTML directly - more flexible but requires maintenance
      3. Both
         API as primary, scraping for data not available via API
      4. Type something.
