Endpoint
GEThttps://agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, compressed, agent-optimized digest of current Hacker News content without parsing raw HTML or paginated APIs. Ideal for agent pipelines that need low-latency tech-community intelligence with provable compression ROI. Prefer over raw HN API scraping when token efficiency and bloat removal matter.
Side effects
