Output
Returns aggregated developer sentiment data drawn from live HackerNews discussions, including community opinion signals, front-page velocity metrics, and relevant discussion threads for the queried technology or topic.
Example use cases
AI model community reception check
“What are developers on HackerNews saying about GPT-4o right now — is the reception positive, negative, or mixed, and how fast is it trending?”
Startup due diligence sentiment scan
“I'm evaluating a startup called Supabase — can you pull live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity to see how the developer community feels about them?”
Framework adoption signal before choosing stack
“We're deciding between Svelte and React for our next project — what's the real-time developer sentiment on HackerNews for each so I can see which the community is more bullish on?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://mcp-compiler.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-centric sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the primary community for technical founders, engineers, and early adopters. Prefer it over general social sentiment APIs when the target audience is developers and the goal is understanding grassroots technical reception rather than mainstream consumer opinion.
Side effects
- Empty or too-short query string returns validation error
- Topic with no HackerNews presence returns sparse or empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 payment not processed
- Ambiguous keyword may surface unrelated discussions
- Transient HackerNews API unavailability causes upstream timeout
