How this service works

Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data for the queried topic, including front-page velocity metrics, aggregate developer sentiment signals, relevant thread activity, and community reaction indicators — packaged as a structured object ready for agent consumption.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“Can you check HackerNews right now and tell me how developers are reacting to the new Claude 4 release — is the sentiment positive, mixed, or negative, and how fast is it moving on the front page?”
Competitor startup buzz monitoring
“I want to know what HackerNews is saying about Linear, the project management startup — are there active discussions, and what's the overall developer sentiment toward them?”
Framework adoption signal before hiring
“Before we commit to adopting SvelteKit for our new project, can you pull the HackerNews sentiment pulse on it so I know whether the developer community is bullish or bearish on it lately?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://cve-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the authoritative signal for engineering and technical founder audiences. Prefer this over general social sentiment APIs when your topic is a framework, open-source library, AI model, or dev-focused startup, and you need front-page velocity (trending speed) in addition to opinion tone. Not suitable for Twitter/Reddit sentiment or non-technical audience signals.
Side effects
- Empty or ambiguous query string returns no meaningful results
- Very niche or misspelled topic keyword yields sparse data
- HackerNews API or scraping layer is temporarily unavailable, causing a timeout or 5xx error
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC balance is insufficient
- Topic has no recent HackerNews activity, resulting in low-confidence sentiment output
