How this service works
15-App Autonomous Business-to-Agent (B2A) API Hub & MCP Suite. Supports Web Distillation, On-Chain Risk, DEX Token Intelligence, B2B Lead Enrichment, Domain OSINT, Email Verification, SEC Filings, GitHub Audits, Prompt Firewall, and native HTTP 402 (x402 Base USDC).
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'status' field ('ok'), a 'data' object containing the distilled Hacker News content, and a 'roi_proof' object showing the compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%), indicating how much raw content was compressed into the digest.
Example use cases

Agent-driven trend monitoring
“Check HN Pulse for what's trending in tech and AI on Hacker News today and give me the key highlights with the compression ratio so I know how much was distilled.”
Startup and dev community pulse

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://arxiv-digest.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pre-distilled summary of Hacker News content with a quantified compression ratio, especially in agent workflows where token efficiency matters and you want to pay only $0.01 USDC per call rather than scraping and summarizing HN yourself.
Side effects
- Payment failure via x402/HTTP 402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Empty or malformed query param may return minimal or generic data
- Rate limiting or upstream HN data unavailability may cause degraded responses
- Non-GET method may be rejected despite schema listing GET/POST
