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/a2a)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including relevant threads, front-page velocity metrics, and an aggregated developer sentiment assessment for the queried technology, startup, or topic. Includes community reaction signals drawn from active HackerNews posts and comments.
Example use cases
AI model community reception check
“Can you check how HackerNews developers are reacting to Claude 3 right now? I want to know the general sentiment and whether it's been getting front-page traction.”
Startup pre-launch developer pulse
“We're about to launch our dev tool startup — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity around 'Supabase' so I can benchmark what good developer reception looks like?”
Framework technology adoption signal
“I'm deciding whether to adopt Bun for our backend — what's the current HackerNews developer sentiment around it and how fast is it moving on the front page?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/a2a?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 ideal for evaluating how technical audiences perceive a framework, AI model, or startup, especially when HackerNews is the authoritative signal for developer adoption. Prefer this over general web search when you want community velocity (front-page traction) and qualitative developer opinion specifically from the Hacker News ecosystem.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query string returning low-signal results
- Topic too niche to have meaningful HackerNews coverage, resulting in sparse data
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment protocol blocking the request
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on upstream HackerNews Algolia API
- Transient network errors reaching the live HackerNews data source
