Endpoint
GEThttps://email-verify.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the primary signal source for technical founders, open source maintainers, and AI researchers. Prefer this over general web search sentiment when you want high-signal, developer-centric opinions rather than mainstream social media noise. Ideal for competitive intelligence, launch monitoring, and framework adoption research.
Side effects
- Empty or vague query string returns no meaningful results
- Keyword too broad (e.g. 'AI') may return noisy or irrelevant aggregated data
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if called excessively in short windows
- HackerNews API downtime may result in stale or partial data
