How this service works
An LLM-written digest of what the tech community is focused on right now.
Output
A short LLM-written prose digest summarizing the most notable topics and discussions from the Hacker News tech community within the requested time window, along with a flag indicating whether it was generated by an LLM or template and the number of source items it was based on.
Example use cases
Morning tech briefing for team
“Before our standup, give me a quick digest of what the tech community has been buzzing about on Hacker News over the past 24 hours — just the key themes, no need to dig into individual posts.”
Weekly newsletter trend research
“I'm putting together our weekly developer newsletter and need to know what topics have been dominating Hacker News this week — can you summarize the biggest discussions and themes so I can decide what to cover?”
Spot emerging developer community shifts
“What have developers and the broader tech community been increasingly focused on over the past month on Hacker News? I want to understand if any new trends or concerns are gaining momentum.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://oracles-production.up.railway.app/v1/hacker-news/briefWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a concise, human-readable AI-written summary of what the tech/developer community is currently discussing on Hacker News, rather than raw stories or individual post data. Ideal for briefing users on tech trends without requiring them to parse large volumes of content.
Side effects
- No recent Hacker News data available for the requested window — returns empty or minimal digest
- Invalid date-time format for 'since' parameter — schema validation error
- Upstream LLM generation failure — may fall back to template-based generation
- Payment not completed (x402) — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
