Endpoint
GEThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — ideal for tracking how technical audiences perceive a new framework, AI model, startup, or library. Prefer this over general social media sentiment tools when the target audience is developers and engineers, or when front-page velocity on HackerNews is a meaningful signal (e.g. launch monitoring, competitive research, investment due diligence on dev tools).
