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://json-repair.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends)
Output
Returns a structured object containing live HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including front-page velocity metrics, developer sentiment signals, discussion activity levels, and aggregated opinion indicators drawn from active HackerNews threads.
Example use cases
Tracking AI model launch reception
“Can you check HackerNews right now and tell me how developers are reacting to the new Claude 4 release — is the sentiment positive, negative, or mixed, and is it gaining front-page velocity?”
Competitor startup buzz monitoring
“I want to know what the HackerNews community is saying about Linear right now — what's the overall developer sentiment and how active are the discussions?”
Framework adoption pulse check
“Pull the live HackerNews sentiment for Bun — I'm trying to figure out whether the developer community is warming up to it or pushing back before I adopt it for our stack.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://json-repair.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical source for early-adopter and builder opinion. It is particularly well-suited for tracking AI model launches, startup reception, library adoption, and framework debates among technical audiences, as opposed to general social media sentiment tools which sample non-developer populations.
Side effects
- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Very obscure or niche keywords with no HackerNews activity may return empty or low-confidence results
- Payment not completed (HTTP 402) when calling without valid x402 USDC payment
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews API availability issues may cause timeouts
- Ambiguous keywords (e.g. 'python') may return broad, noisy sentiment rather than targeted results
