# Get Credentials

> Hacker News is a public API — no credentials required.

The Hacker News API is publicly accessible and does not require authentication for read operations. No credentials are needed to use the Hacker News plugin.

Simply install the plugin and start using it:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm install @corsair-dev/hackernews
```

```ts corsair.ts theme={null}
import { hackernews } from "@corsair-dev/hackernews";

export const corsair = createCorsair({
    plugins: [hackernews()],
    // ...
});
```

For general information about how Corsair handles authentication, see [Authentication](/concepts/auth).
