How this service works
Deterministic B2A/A2A/MCP/x402/MPP/L402 execution and intelligence node at https://status.agentdiet.dev settling in USDC on Base.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'status' field ('ok'), a 'data' object containing HackerNews velocity/trending intelligence, and an 'roi_proof' object showing a compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%) indicating how much context was distilled relative to raw input.

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://status.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pre-compressed velocity/trending signal specifically for HackerNews, especially when context window efficiency matters (the service advertises 85-91% token compression). Prefer this over raw HN API scraping when you want pre-analyzed momentum signals rather than raw post data, and when you're comfortable paying micro-transactions via x402/USDC on Base.
Side effects
- Payment not settled in USDC on Base — HTTP 402 returned requiring x402 payment
- Invalid query parameter type — schema validation error returned
- Upstream HackerNews API unavailable — data field may be empty or stale
- Network timeout to status.agentdiet.dev — connection error
