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://cve-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top)
Output
Returns structured data including live HackerNews discussion threads, front-page velocity metrics, and aggregated developer sentiment signals for the queried topic — likely including story titles, scores, comment counts, submission timestamps, and an overall sentiment summary.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“How are developers reacting to the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet release on HackerNews right now? I want to know the sentiment and how fast it's trending.”
Startup competitive intelligence
“Can you check what HackerNews is saying about Linear app lately — I want to know the community sentiment and any active discussions before our product planning meeting.”
Framework adoption signal tracking
“Pull live HackerNews sentiment and discussion activity for Htmx — I'm trying to figure out if developer interest is growing or fading.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://cve-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment and HackerNews-specific discussion signals rather than generic social media sentiment. It is particularly valuable for assessing how technical audiences — developers, founders, engineers — perceive a framework, AI model, startup, or open-source library. Prefer this over general web search when HackerNews front-page velocity and comment thread activity are the primary signal of interest.
Side effects
- Empty or rare topic keyword returns no results or low-signal output
- HackerNews API or scrape source temporarily unavailable causing timeout
- Overly broad query returns noisy, unfocused results
- Payment required (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC micropayment not attached
- Ambiguous keyword matches unrelated discussions (e.g. 'apple' matching fruit and Apple Inc.)
