How this service works
The last 24 hours of high-signal developer news from Hacker News, ranked by engagement and classified across eleven topics: AI, devtools, data, infra, security, web, hardware, policy, business, science and culture. Every row carries a developer_relevant flag, so you can keep the engineering stories and drop the front page's politics and obituaries, about half of a typical day. Scores, links and comment volume. Add ?since=<ISO-8601> for only what is new; an empty delta is free.
Output
A ranked list of developer news items from the last 24 hours, each with a title, link, topic tags (AI, devtools, security, infra), a relevance/signal score, and discussion volume metric, sourced from Hacker News.
Example use cases
Daily dev news briefing for team
“Pull me the top developer stories from the last 24 hours across AI, devtools, and security so I can put together a quick briefing for the engineering team.”
Monitor AI tooling buzz

Security incident awareness check

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://datastand.dev/api/data/dev-signalsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-curated, scored, and tagged daily digest of developer-relevant Hacker News content without having to scrape or parse raw HN data yourself. Ideal for building daily briefings, monitoring dev community sentiment, or tracking what's gaining traction in AI, devtools, security, and infra. Prefer this over raw HN API calls when you want ranked, filtered signal rather than raw firehose data.
Side effects
- Stale data if Hacker News feed was recently unavailable
- Empty or thin results during low-activity periods (weekends, holidays)
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.02 per-call fee
- Rate limiting or temporary unavailability of the upstream data source
- No filtering options available — results always cover the full 24h window across all supported categories
