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-velocity-radar)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity, thread counts, upvote signals, and an aggregated developer sentiment reading for the queried keyword — providing a real-time pulse of how the developer ecosystem perceives that technology or startup.
Example use cases
Startup launch reception monitoring
“Check HackerNews right now to see what developers are saying about 'Devin AI' — is it trending on the front page and what's the overall sentiment in the discussion threads?”
Framework comparison research
“I'm deciding between Bun and Deno for my next project — can you pull the HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for both so I can see which one the dev community is more excited about lately?”
Competitor intelligence for investor due diligence
“We're evaluating a Series A investment in a company called 'Warp terminal' — what's the HackerNews developer community saying about them and how much discussion velocity are they generating?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://github-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews, which skews toward technical founders, early adopters, and engineers. Prefer this over general social media sentiment tools when the audience is the developer and startup ecosystem rather than general consumers, or when front-page trending velocity on HackerNews is a meaningful signal for your use case (e.g., launch monitoring, technology adoption research, competitor intelligence).
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query returns noisy or irrelevant results
- Very new or obscure topics may return minimal discussion data
- Rate-limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 payment is not properly handled
- HackerNews API downtime may cause stale or missing data
- Query keyword spelling errors may miss relevant discussions
