## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability llms-generator-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-c197c740
```

Example prompt: What's the current developer sentiment on HackerNews for 'Deno' — is it getting traction, any front-page velocity, and are developers generally positive or negative about it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment rather than general social media sentiment. It is specifically tuned to HackerNews discussions and front-page velocity, making it ideal for evaluating how the technical community perceives a framework, startup, or AI model — especially when launch timing, adoption signals, or developer reputation matter.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very obscure query returns no matching discussions
- Topic too broad returns noisy or low-signal sentiment
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Upstream HackerNews API unavailable returns service error
- Query returns stale data if HackerNews has no recent activity on the topic
