Endpoint
GEThttps://rag-diet.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a token-efficient, compressed digest of Hacker News trends for use inside an AI agent context window. Ideal when token cost is a concern and you want provable compression ratios rather than raw full-text HN content. Best for agents operating on tight context budgets that still need real-time tech community intelligence.

- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance on Base is insufficient
- Empty or malformed query param returns degraded or empty data field
- HN source unavailable results in error or empty data response
