## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical hub for technical founders and engineers. Prefer it over general social media sentiment tools when your audience is developers, CTOs, or technical investors, and when you care about front-page velocity and discussion depth rather than volume of tweets or likes.

- Empty or ambiguous query string returns no meaningful results
