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/hackernews-top)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity, relevant post titles and links, and aggregated developer sentiment signals (positive/negative/neutral) for the queried technology, startup, or topic keyword
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“We just launched a new open-source LLM called Falcon-3. What are developers on HackerNews saying about it right now — is the sentiment positive or negative, and is it getting front-page traction?”
Competitive framework sentiment analysis
“I'm deciding between Svelte and Next.js for our new project. Can you pull the current HackerNews developer sentiment for both so I can see which one the community is more enthusiastic about?”
Startup PR monitoring after announcement
“Our startup Retool just made a big product announcement. Can you check HackerNews to see how fast it's trending and whether the developer discussion is positive or negative?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you specifically need real-time developer community sentiment from HackerNews — the primary signal source for technical audience opinion — rather than broad social media sentiment. Best for evaluating tech stacks, monitoring startup reception, tracking AI model launches, or competitive developer ecosystem analysis where HN is the authoritative community.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query returns low-signal results
- HackerNews topic too niche to surface meaningful sentiment
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402
- Newly coined terms not yet discussed on HackerNews yield sparse data
- Query keyword ambiguous across multiple products returns mixed signal
