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/dev-sentiment)
Output
Returns a structured object containing live HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including developer sentiment signals, front-page velocity metrics, and community opinion aggregated from active HackerNews threads.
Example use cases
Framework adoption pulse check
“Check what HackerNews developers are saying about Svelte right now — is sentiment trending positive or negative, and how much discussion activity is there?”
Startup launch community reaction
“We just launched our startup Cortex AI — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and front-page velocity to see how the developer community is reacting?”
AI model release buzz tracking
“What's the developer buzz on HackerNews for Llama 3 right now? I want to know if sentiment is positive, how fast it's trending, and what the key discussion themes are.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://defi-yield.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical source for tech-savvy early adopter opinion. Prefer it over general social media sentiment tools when your audience is developers, founders, or technical decision-makers, or when you want front-page velocity as a proxy for trending interest in a framework, startup, or AI model.
