## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability email-verify-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-c79e34e6
```

Example prompt: What's the current developer sentiment on HackerNews about the Llama 3 model — are people excited or skeptical, and how fast is it trending on the front page?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the primary forum for tech-savvy early adopters — rather than general social media sentiment. Ideal for evaluating startup credibility, framework adoption trends, or AI model reception among technical audiences. Prefer this over generic social sentiment APIs when the audience is specifically developers and engineers.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very niche query returns sparse or no HackerNews data
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime may cause stale or missing results
- Ambiguous query keyword (e.g. 'go') may conflate multiple topics
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 with no data
- Overly broad query (e.g. 'AI') may return unfocused or noisy sentiment
