Example use cases
Competitor tech stack reception check
“Can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment for Supabase right now? I want to know if developers are generally positive about it and how fast it's trending on the front page.”
New AI model launch reception monitor
“Check what developers on HackerNews are saying about Gemini 2.0 — is the sentiment positive or negative, and are there a lot of active discussions going on?”
Startup buzz validation before pitch
“My startup is called Maige — can you see if there's any HackerNews activity or developer sentiment around that name before I pitch to investors this week?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://llms-generator.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the primary forum for technical founders, engineers, and early adopters. Prefer this over general web sentiment tools when the audience is developers or when you care about technical discourse velocity and front-page traction rather than social media sentiment.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns low-signal or no results
- HackerNews upstream latency causes stale or incomplete data
- Very niche or obscure topics return no matching discussions
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may conflate unrelated topics
