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-trends)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including relevant threads, front-page velocity metrics, aggregated developer sentiment signals, comment activity, and trending momentum for the queried technology, startup, or topic keyword.
Example use cases
Startup competitive buzz monitoring
“Can you check HackerNews right now and tell me what developers are saying about Linear — is there positive or negative sentiment, and is it picking up velocity on the front page?”
AI model launch reception check
“I just heard about Mistral's new model — what's the HackerNews community saying about it right now? I want to know the sentiment and how much discussion is happening.”
Framework adoption temperature check
“We're considering switching our stack to Bun — what does HackerNews developer sentiment look like for Bun right now? Is it trending or fading?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://defi-yield.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment and discussion velocity specifically from HackerNews — the canonical source of truth for technical founder, engineer, and early-adopter opinion. Prefer this over general web search sentiment tools when the target audience is the developer/hacker community, and over social media sentiment tools when you care about technical depth rather than volume. Best for evaluating new frameworks, startup launches, AI model releases, or open-source library traction within the tech-savvy developer demographic.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query returns no results if topic has no recent HackerNews coverage
- Payment required (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate limiting if too many queries are submitted in rapid succession
- Ambiguous keywords may return irrelevant discussions unrelated to the intended technology
- Temporary unavailability of live HackerNews data source causing degraded or stale results
