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://github-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends)
Output
Returns aggregated data from live HackerNews discussions including discussion thread activity, front-page velocity metrics, and developer sentiment signals for the queried keyword or topic.
Example use cases
Evaluate developer buzz before adopting a framework
“Before we commit to building our next project in Svelte, can you check what the HackerNews developer community is saying about it right now — is sentiment positive or negative, and is it getting any front-page traction?”
Monitor competitor startup's HN reception
“Our competitor just launched a new product called Linear — can you pull the real-time HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity around them so I can see how developers are reacting?”
Gauge AI model reception among developers
“I want to know what HackerNews developers are currently saying about Google Gemini — check the live discussions and tell me whether sentiment is trending up or down and how fast it's moving on the front page.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://github-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the go-to forum for software engineers, founders, and tech investors. Prefer this over general web sentiment tools when your audience is technical developers and you want front-page velocity signals alongside discussion content. Best suited for evaluating emerging frameworks, AI models, developer tools, and tech startups where HN community reception is a meaningful signal.
