Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-agent-store.rileycraig14.workers.dev/hn/top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time Hacker News front page data without managing API keys or subscriptions — ideal for AI agents that need a pay-per-call, zero-signup feed of top tech stories to summarize, monitor, or route to users. Prefer this over scraping HN directly or maintaining your own polling infrastructure.
Side effects
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — HTTP 402 returned
- top parameter out of range (must be 1-20) — validation error
- HN API upstream unavailability causing empty or partial response
- Network timeout from the Cloudflare Worker
