It doesn't look like you're using the HN API. Perhaps you should? Here's a library from a quick google: https://github.com/cryptix/gohn

Sorry I don't get what you mean. The comments are fetched by making REST requests to https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/, so it is using the HN API isn't it?

Ah, I missed that, sorry. D'uh, you actually have a global right up top called HN_API_URL.
