How this service works

Output
A structured object containing live HackerNews discussion data for the queried topic, including relevant threads, front-page velocity signals, and aggregated developer sentiment indicators drawn from real-time community activity.
Example use cases
AI model community reception check
“Can you check what developers on HackerNews are saying about GPT-4o right now? I want to know the sentiment and how fast it's moving on the front page.”
Startup buzz before pitch meeting
“I have a pitch meeting tomorrow — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment around the startup Perplexity AI so I know how the developer community is feeling about them?”
Framework adoption temperature check
“We're deciding whether to adopt Bun as our JavaScript runtime — what's the current HackerNews discussion velocity and developer sentiment around it?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community pulse specifically from HackerNews — the authoritative source for technical founders, engineers, and early adopters. Prefer it over general social media sentiment tools when the target audience is developers, over Twitter/Reddit sentiment APIs when HackerNews-specific velocity and front-page traction matter, and when assessing technical credibility or early-adopter reception of a framework, AI model, or startup.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query string returns low-quality or no results
- HackerNews rate limiting or upstream API downtime causes fetch failures
- Niche or obscure topics may have sparse discussion data yielding weak sentiment signals
- Payment failure via x402 returns HTTP 402 before query is processed
- Malformed request body missing required 'query' field returns validation error
