Congrats Nico. Came here to tell you about the HN API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) but I see cheesehead beat me to it. Using the API it is much easier to pick up the latest thread each month and setup a cron job.

That’s an excellent tip, thank you very much. It will definitely come in handy soon when implementing the cron :)

Are you using the API on some project?

Yes, I am building an application tracking system(ATS) that also includes a job board. Among other sources, I used HN to populate the job board. My project is not open source, but I am happy to share the HN scraping code with you if you like. My email is in my profile.
