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 distilled Hacker News content, a `status` field indicating success, and an `roi_proof` object showing the compression ratio (e.g. 91.4%) achieved by the distillation — meaning the agent receives a highly compressed, information-dense summary rather than raw feed data.
Example use cases
Daily tech briefing from HN
“Give me a quick distilled summary of what Hacker News is talking about this morning — I want the top community signals compressed into the key highlights so I can skim them fast.”
Topic-filtered HN trend watch
“Search Hacker News for the latest discussions about large language models and give me a compressed digest of what the community is saying.”
Agent research on HN sentiment
“What is the Hacker News community currently saying about Rust programming? Fetch the pulse and compress it down to the most important threads.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, compressed digest of Hacker News community signals — particularly useful for agents that want high information density without processing raw HN feeds themselves. The built-in distillation (91%+ compression) makes it ideal for low-context-window agents or pipelines where token efficiency matters. Prefer over raw HN API access when you want pre-processed, agent-ready output rather than raw HTML or JSON story lists.
Side effects
- Empty or missing `query` param may return a generic or empty data payload
- Payment failure via x402/HTTP 402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or upstream HN API unavailability causing degraded data
- Malformed input schema (missing `type` or `method` fields) returns a validation error
- Query yields no matching HN stories, resulting in an empty `data` object
