How this service works

Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity, developer sentiment signals, and community engagement metrics for the queried technology, startup, library, or AI model topic.
Example use cases
Tracking AI model launch reception
“Can you check what developers on HackerNews are saying about the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet release — is it getting positive buzz, and how fast is it moving on the front page?”
Competitor framework sentiment analysis
“I'm evaluating whether to adopt SvelteKit for our next project — can you pull the current HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for SvelteKit so I can see what the dev community thinks?”
Startup traction monitoring
“We just launched our startup Replicate and I want to know how it's landing with developers — can you check the live HackerNews sentiment pulse and front-page velocity for 'Replicate'?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://mcp-compiler.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — ideal for tracking launch reactions, framework adoption trends, AI model reception, or startup buzz among technical audiences. Prefer this over general social sentiment APIs when the target audience is developers and the signal source should be HackerNews specifically.
Side effects
- Empty or irrelevant query string returns no meaningful results
- Topic with no recent HackerNews coverage returns low-confidence or empty sentiment data
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not properly configured
- Rate limiting or network timeout if HackerNews API is slow or unavailable
- Overly broad query (e.g. 'AI') may return noisy or ambiguous sentiment data
