Or just make a way to retrieve the points from hnsearch.com since they have access to them anyways...
Also, searchyc.com is now back up, but I'm not sure whether it has points access yet (it didn't before it went down during the initial points removal).
Seems like this is tackling the issue in the wrong way. Points won't be near accurate even, since most people won't have this installed. something something over engineering something something occam's razor.
Unfortunately, there's no way to look up an item by ID using the HNSearch API, so it's not much use for building something to show points on all comments.
