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-top)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data for the queried topic, including front-page thread velocity, community sentiment signals, relevant post titles and scores, and an overall pulse of developer ecosystem reaction to the specified technology, startup, or AI model.
Example use cases
Startup launch buzz check
“We just launched our startup Contextflow on Product Hunt — can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about us right now and how fast we're trending?”
Framework evaluation for team
“My team is deciding between SvelteKit and Next.js — what's the current sentiment and discussion velocity on HackerNews for both so I can see which the dev community prefers?”
Competitor AI model monitoring

Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the gold standard for technical and startup ecosystem opinion. Prefer this over general web search when you want front-page velocity, community scoring, and the authentic developer voice rather than media coverage. Ideal for evaluating frameworks, monitoring startup buzz, or gauging reaction to AI model launches within the technical community.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query returns low-relevance results
- Topic too niche to have recent HackerNews coverage returns sparse data
- Payment failure via x402 prevents endpoint execution
- Rate limiting if called excessively without idempotency key on retries
- HackerNews API upstream downtime may cause degraded or empty responses
