Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.gocreativeai.com/v1/lookup/hn/topWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time top stories from Hacker News without scraping or managing API keys. Ideal for AI agents that want pay-per-call access to HN trending content via USDC micropayments on Base, especially when no signup or authentication setup is desired.
Side effects
- Invalid 'count' parameter value results in an error or empty response
- HN API upstream unavailability causes a fetch failure
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or timeout if count is excessively large
