## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability company-enrich-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-9e38ac31 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current developer sentiment and HackerNews discussion velocity around the Rust programming language — is it trending positively or negatively with the community right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community opinion specifically from HackerNews — the canonical signal for engineering and startup sentiment. Prefer this over generic web search sentiment tools when the target audience is developers, founders, or technical decision-makers, and when front-page velocity and discussion thread depth matter. Especially useful for tracking AI model reception, framework adoption trends, or startup reputation among early-adopter engineers.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-generic query string returns low-signal results with few matches
- HackerNews Algolia API downtime causes delayed or empty responses
- Very niche or newly coined terms may return no meaningful discussion data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) blocks the request
- Ambiguous query matching multiple unrelated topics may dilute sentiment accuracy
