## 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 cve-intel-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-f683d3eb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the live developer sentiment and HackerNews discussion velocity around Next.js right now — are devs bullish or bearish on it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than general social media sentiment. Best for gauging how technical audiences (engineers, founders, researchers) perceive a specific framework, startup, or AI model at this moment. Prefer this over Twitter/Reddit sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically the developer and startup ecosystem that congregates on HackerNews.

## Known failure modes

- Query keyword too vague or broad — returns noisy or unfocused results
- Topic has no recent HackerNews activity — returns empty or low-confidence sentiment
- Payment failure via x402 — endpoint returns 402 before executing query
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews API unavailability — returns error or stale data
- Ambiguous keyword matches multiple topics — sentiment may be mixed across unrelated discussions
