How this service works
Queries live HackerNews discussions, front-page velocity, and developer sentiment on any framework, startup, or AI model. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends)
Output
Returns a structured object containing live HackerNews sentiment data for the queried topic, including discussion activity, front-page velocity signals, and developer sentiment indicators derived from current HackerNews threads and comments.
Example use cases
Startup launch reception check
“We just launched our startup on HackerNews — can you pull the live sentiment and discussion velocity for 'Acme AI' to see how the developer community is reacting?”
Framework adoption signal tracking
“I'm deciding between Bun and Deno for our next project — what's the current HackerNews sentiment and buzz level for each of them?”
AI model developer perception audit
“Before we integrate Mistral into our product, can you check what developers on HackerNews are saying about it lately and whether the sentiment is positive or negative?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-centric sentiment specifically from the HackerNews community — ideal for assessing startup launch reception, framework adoption trends, or AI model buzz among technical audiences. Prefer it over general social sentiment APIs when your target audience is developers and engineers, and when HackerNews front-page velocity or comment thread sentiment is the signal you need.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query keyword returns no HackerNews results
- HackerNews API unavailability causes data gaps
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may return mixed unrelated sentiment
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 before query is executed
- Response schema is loosely typed (object) so field presence may vary
