In their words
Their pitchReturns one Hacker News item: id, title, url, score, author, ISO 8601 creation time, descendant count, kid ids, type, optional text with a plain-text variant, and parent id, deleted and dead when set. With comments=true (the default) the response also carries the full nested comment tree from the Algolia items document, each comment with author, text, plain-text variant, creation time, parent id and nested children. An unknown id answers 404 and is never charged.
