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://email-verify.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends)
Output
Returns aggregated HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including active thread signals, front-page velocity metrics, and an overall developer sentiment reading for the given technology, startup, or topic.
Example use cases
Framework adoption signal for engineers
“Can you check what developers on HackerNews are currently saying about Bun as a Node.js replacement — is the sentiment mostly positive, and how fast is it trending on the front page?”
Startup buzz check before investment pitch
“I'm about to pitch a competitor analysis — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion activity for the startup Perplexity AI so I know how the dev community feels about them right now?”
AI model reception monitoring
“How is the developer community on HackerNews reacting to GPT-4o — are there active discussions, and is the overall sentiment positive or negative compared to what you'd expect?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://email-verify.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — not Twitter/X or Reddit. Best suited for gauging how the technical and engineering community views a framework, AI model, library, or startup, especially when front-page velocity and discussion thread density are the signals you care about.
Side effects
- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- No HackerNews results found for an obscure or misspelled keyword
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews API unavailability may return a 5xx error
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if the $0.01 per-call fee is not settled
- Very new topics with no HackerNews activity may return empty or low-confidence results
