How this service works

Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity metrics, aggregated developer sentiment signals, and analysis of community reactions for the queried technology, startup, library, or AI model topic.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“Can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment for 'Claude 4' and tell me how developers are reacting to its release — is it mostly positive or are there concerns?”
Startup competitive intelligence
“What's the developer community saying about Linear on HackerNews right now? I want to know if it's gaining momentum or losing ground versus competitors.”
Framework adoption research
“Check HackerNews for current developer sentiment around Svelte — how fast is it hitting the front page and what's the overall vibe from engineers discussing it?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?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 purpose-built for HackerNews velocity and engineering community discourse. Prefer it over generic web scraping or Twitter sentiment tools when your target audience is developers, founders, or technical evaluators who frequent HackerNews.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query string returns low-confidence or no matching discussions
- Very niche or obscure topics may return minimal HackerNews data
- Payment failure or x402 authorization issues block the request
- Rate limiting if the same query is retried rapidly without an idempotency key
- HackerNews API downtime may cause incomplete or stale results
