How this service works

Output
Returns real-time HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including developer sentiment signals, front-page velocity metrics, and a pulse on how the developer ecosystem is engaging with the topic at query time.
Example use cases
YC launch day traction check
“Our startup just launched on HackerNews — can you check the live sentiment and front-page velocity for 'Fable AI' so I know how the developer community is reacting?”
Framework adoption sentiment research
“I'm deciding between Svelte and Next.js for our new project — what does the HackerNews community currently think about Svelte in terms of sentiment and discussion activity?”
Competitor AI model buzz monitoring
“How is the developer community on HackerNews reacting to the Gemini 2.0 release right now? I want to know the sentiment pulse and how fast it's trending.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than general social media sentiment. It is particularly suited for YC startup launch monitoring, framework adoption research, and AI model reception tracking within the technical developer ecosystem, where HackerNews is the primary signal source.
