## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated developer community sentiment and discussion from Hacker News specifically about cloud cost management, rather than broader web search results. It is ideal for FinOps researchers, developer tool marketers, and newsletter curators who want to gauge what practitioners are actively discussing and upvoting on HN.

## Known failure modes

- No matching HN stories found for the query — returns empty results
- max_results out of range (below 1 or above 10) causes validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in request rejection
- Query too vague may return loosely related stories
- HN search index lag may miss very recent posts
