About hnslop

hnslop provides Pangram scores for Hacker News posts through a JSON API and a Firefox extension, acting as a cached server for Salah Adawi's Hacker News AI Detector.

hnslop functions as a server that transforms Salah Adawi's Hacker News AI Detector into a cached JSON API. This allows users to programmatically retrieve Pangram checks for any Hacker News post that has reached the frontpage. The service is hosted at hnslop.nilsherzig.com and is designed for easy integration.

The API supports requests for single or multiple posts by their IDs, returning a JSON object that includes the post ID, the AI detector's score, a URL to the original detector, and the cache status. This makes it convenient for developers and researchers to access AI detection data without directly interacting with the original detector.

Additionally, hnslop offers a Firefox extension, providing a direct way for users to view Pangram scores while browsing Hacker News. The service acknowledges Salah Adawi for his work on the AI Detector, noting that it currently uses Pangram v3.3, which may not be the most up-to-date model.
