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://defi-yield.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including front-page velocity (how fast posts are gaining traction), developer sentiment signals derived from comments and upvotes, and relevant discussion threads or post summaries related to the specified technology, startup, or AI model.
Example use cases
Startup competitive intelligence check
“Can you pull the HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for Vercel right now? I want to know how the developer community is reacting to them lately.”
AI model launch reception monitoring
“Check HackerNews for me — how is GPT-4o trending among developers? I want to know the front-page velocity and overall sentiment since it launched.”
Open source library adoption signal
“I'm evaluating whether to adopt Prisma ORM for our project — can you check what developers are currently saying about it on HackerNews and how actively it's being discussed?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://defi-yield.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical gathering place for engineers and technical founders. Prefer this over general social media sentiment APIs when your audience is developers, when evaluating a technical tool's adoption trajectory, or when you need front-page velocity as a proxy for community momentum rather than raw mention counts.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns no meaningful results
- HackerNews API rate limiting causes delayed or incomplete data
- Very niche or newly coined technology names yield sparse discussion data
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'Apple') may return mixed or irrelevant results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents endpoint access
