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 'data' field containing the distilled HN content, a 'status' field confirming success ('ok'), and an 'roi_proof' object showing the compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%) — demonstrating how much raw content was condensed into the response.
Example use cases
Daily tech briefing for developer
“What's trending on Hacker News right now? Give me a compressed digest of the top stories and themes so I can catch up in under two minutes.”
Agent morning intelligence feed
“Every morning, fetch the HN pulse and distill it into a compact brief I can read — I want the high-signal stuff only, skip the noise.”
Startup founder competitive scan

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402broker.com/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.01 USDC) distilled summary of Hacker News without parsing raw feeds yourself. It is ideal for agents that need a compressed, high-signal tech intelligence brief rather than raw HTML or RSS. Prefer it over general web scrapers when you specifically want HN content with built-in compression and ROI metrics.
Side effects
- Missing or malformed 'input' object returns a validation error
- Invalid 'type' value (must be 'http') causes schema rejection
- Payment failure via x402/HTTP 402 blocks access if USDC balance is insufficient
- Upstream HN data unavailability may result in empty 'data' payload with status still 'ok'
- Unsupported method value outside GET/POST enum causes input rejection
