Crate hnapi

Use this crate to query stories from HackerNews.

For now, it supports the following operations:

• list stories using stories_list
• get details and comments for a story using story_details
• get details about a user using user_details
• login and get an auth token using login
• upvote a story using upvote_story

Refer to their respective documentations to see usage examples.

Note: information is obtained by scraping the HackerNews website. The reason this crate does not use the official API is that it does not provide a convenient way to get all the comments for a given story, and only allows read operations.
