Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.gocreativeai.com/v1/trending/hackernews/%7Barg%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time trending Hacker News stories filtered by a specific topic or keyword, especially for tech, startup, crypto, or AI news. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want developer community sentiment and popularity signals (scores, comments) from Hacker News. Best for agents monitoring tech discourse or summarizing what the HN community is talking about on a given subject.
Side effects
- No stories found for obscure or misspelled keyword — returns empty stories array
- Payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required if USDC not provided
- Invalid or missing 'input' query parameter — returns 400 Bad Request
- Hacker News upstream unavailable — may return 503 or empty results
- Rate limiting if many rapid calls are made without payment
