How this service works
Research any topic across Hacker News, Reddit, worldwide news sites (GDELT) and major outlets' headlines in one call: recent stories merged, de-duplicated and sorted newest first, with links, discussion threads, points, comment counts and outlets. Pass ?q=topic&days=7. For an AI-written summary with citations use /news/brief. No API keys needed.
Output
A JSON object containing the query string, the number of days searched, a total count of matched items, a sources array showing which sources responded and how many results each contributed, and an items array where each entry includes the article title, URL, source platform (hackernews/lemmy/dev/news/rss), outlet name, publication timestamp, HN or Reddit score, comment count, discussion thread URL, and an optional text snippet — all sorted newest first and de-duplicated.
Example use cases
Track developer buzz on new protocol
“Find me the latest Hacker News and Reddit discussions about the x402 payment protocol from the past 14 days — I want titles, links, scores, and how many comments each has.”
Monitor news coverage of a security incident
“Search for recent news about the CrowdStrike outage across all sources for the past 30 days — pull from GDELT and major outlets too, not just Hacker News.”
Research AI competitor announcements
“What have Hacker News and major tech news outlets been saying about Anthropic Claude in the last 3 days? Give me up to 50 results newest first.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://aayatai.com/news?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to aggregate developer and tech news across Hacker News, Reddit, GDELT, and major RSS outlets in a single call with deduplication and unified sorting — especially useful when you want community engagement signals (upvotes, comment counts, discussion links) alongside article metadata. Prefer it over single-source scrapers or generic search APIs when the query is tech/developer-oriented and freshness within the last 1-30 days matters. Use the companion /news/brief endpoint instead if you need an AI-written narrative summary with citations rather than a raw list.
Side effects
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400 error
- Query string under 2 or over 200 characters is rejected by schema validation
- GDELT live search may time out or return fewer results when selected as a source
- days value outside 1-30 range is rejected
- Payment not sent or insufficient USDC triggers a 402 Payment Required response
- Slow live sources (news, lemmy, dev) may increase latency significantly
