How this service works
Queries live HackerNews discussions, front-page velocity, and developer sentiment on any framework, startup, or AI model. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar)
Output
Returns real-time HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity metrics, developer sentiment signals, trending discussions, and community reaction scores for the queried technology, startup, library, or AI model topic.
Example use cases
Pre-launch competitor sentiment check
“Before we launch our new developer tool, can you check what developers on HackerNews are saying about our main competitor 'Supabase' and how fast their stories are gaining traction?”
AI model community reaction tracking
“What's the live HackerNews sentiment around 'Gemini 1.5 Pro'? I want to know if developers are excited, skeptical, or critical about it right now.”
Framework adoption pulse for tech decision
“We're deciding between adopting Svelte or SolidJS for our next project — can you check the current HackerNews discussion velocity and developer sentiment for both so I can see which one has more positive momentum?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the primary forum where early adopters, engineers, and startup founders discuss technology. Prefer this over general social media sentiment tools when your audience is the developer/hacker ecosystem, or when you need front-page velocity as a signal of technical community excitement.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns no meaningful signal
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime cause degraded results
- Very niche or obscure topics may return sparse discussion data
- Query terms with multiple meanings may aggregate unrelated discussions
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 error before processing
