Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/paid?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical forum for technical founders, engineers, and early adopters. Prefer this over general web search when you want structured sentiment velocity (front-page trending) rather than raw search results, and when the audience is specifically the developer/hacker ecosystem rather than general public opinion.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns low-signal or no results
- Very niche or obscure keyword with no HackerNews coverage returns sparse data
- Payment failure via x402 blocks the request
- Rate limiting if called too frequently
- Response schema is loosely typed (generic object), so output structure may vary
