Questions before you start

The official API returns ids: you rebuild comment trees one fetch at a time, lists hold only ids, and there is no search. These endpoints return the assembled objects.

Top, new, best, ask, show and job, each with full item data. A front-page pull is one request, not one per story.

Front-page ranks, scores and comment counts reflect the thread when you call.
