## 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-ddef8be1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the real-time developer sentiment and HackerNews discussion velocity for 'Bun' right now — are devs excited or skeptical?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than broad social media sentiment. It is ideal for evaluating developer perception of a framework, library, startup, or AI model based on actual HackerNews discussions and front-page velocity, not Twitter or Reddit signals.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-broad query returns low-signal or generic results
- Very niche or obscure topic returns no HackerNews discussions found
- HackerNews API upstream latency may delay results
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 with payment instructions
- Malformed or missing query field returns 422 validation error
