How this service works
Queries live HackerNews discussions, front-page velocity, and developer sentiment on any framework, startup, or AI model. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1)
Output
Returns a structured analysis of live HackerNews discussions related to the queried topic, including sentiment signals (positive/negative/neutral developer sentiment), front-page velocity (how fast or frequently the topic is appearing on the front page), and relevant discussion threads or comment summaries aggregated from HackerNews in real time.
Example use cases
AI model perception check
“Pull the live HackerNews sentiment for the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model — I want to know if developers are excited or critical about it right now.”
Startup community buzz audit
“What are HackerNews developers saying about Linear right now? Is it trending on the front page, and what's the overall vibe?”
Framework adoption signal research
“Check the HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for Svelte — I'm trying to decide if it's gaining traction with the developer community or losing momentum.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment rather than general social media sentiment. It is especially valuable for evaluating how the technical community perceives a framework, AI model, or startup — not mainstream consumer opinion. Prefer this over Twitter/Reddit scrapers when the target audience is specifically software engineers and builders active on HackerNews.
Side effects
- Empty or too-broad query returns noisy or unfocused results
- Very niche or newly coined topic names may return no HackerNews data
- HackerNews API downtime or rate limiting may cause delayed or empty responses
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may conflate unrelated topics
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 and no data
