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

```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the primary signal source for tech-savvy, early-adopter developer opinion. Prefer this over generic social sentiment APIs when your subject is a developer tool, AI model, startup, or programming framework and HN community reaction is the target signal.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-broad query returns noisy or irrelevant results
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime cause incomplete data
- Very niche or obscure topics return no discussion data
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Malformed query string causes validation error
