How this service works
AI research brief on any topic from the last 1-30 days: gathers Hacker News and headlines from major outlets, Lobsters, Lemmy and DEV, then writes a concise briefing (key developments, sentiment, what to watch) with numbered citations to the sources, plus the full item list. Pass ?q=topic&days=7. Built for research agents.
Output
A JSON object containing a markdown-formatted briefing string with numbered citations, an array of news items (each with title, URL, source, outlet, snippet, publish date, score, and comment count), the original query string, total count, days searched, and a sources array showing which outlets responded and how many results each returned. Also includes a trust notice about third-party content.
Example use cases
Weekly tech topic briefing for newsletter
“Pull together a markdown news brief on large language models from the last 7 days using Hacker News and RSS, return up to 30 articles with citations.”
Crypto protocol monitoring for research
“What's been written about Ethereum layer 2 scaling in the last 14 days? Get me a briefing from Hacker News and major RSS outlets, up to 50 items.”
Real-time news scan for breaking story
“Search for news about the recent OpenAI model release from the past 2 days across all available sources including live GDELT news, give me a quick brief with up to 20 results.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://aayatai.com/news/brief?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a synthesized, citeable markdown news brief aggregated from multiple tech-focused sources (Hacker News, RSS, GDELT, Lemmy, DEV) for a specific topic over a recent time window. It is particularly useful for AI agents that need ready-to-use briefings with inline citations rather than raw search results, and when you want no-account pay-per-call access via x402 on Base or Solana. Prefer alternatives if you need real-time general web search, social media sentiment, or structured data beyond news articles.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns validation error
- Query string too short (under 2 chars) or too long (over 200 chars) fails schema validation
- Invalid 'sources' values return no results or error
- Days parameter out of range (>30 or <1) fails validation
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC triggers 402 response
- Live sources (news, lemmy, dev) may time out or return fewer results than requested
- No matching articles found returns empty items array with zero total
