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 ('ok'), and a 'roi_proof' object showing the compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%), indicating how much the raw content was compressed relative to the original.
Example use cases
Morning tech news briefing
“Give me a distilled summary of what's trending on Hacker News this morning, especially anything related to AI or open source.”
Startup funding news scan
“Search Hacker News for any stories about startup funding or venture capital today and give me a compressed digest.”
Developer tool discovery
“What are people on Hacker News talking about in terms of new developer tools or frameworks right now? Distill it for me.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://shopify-spy.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a quick, cost-efficient ($0.01 USDC), pre-distilled digest of Hacker News content rather than scraping HN directly. It is particularly useful when token budget matters, as the 90%+ compression ratio dramatically reduces LLM context consumption. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when the user specifically wants HN community signal or tech news pulse.
Side effects
- Empty or missing query yields unfiltered results which may be too broad
- Payment failure via x402 (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Upstream Hacker News API unavailability causes empty data response
- Invalid method enum causes schema validation error
- Rate limiting or timeout if HN is slow to respond
