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://mesh.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity metrics, discussion thread signals, and aggregated developer sentiment for the queried technology, startup, or AI topic. The response is a JSON object with sentiment indicators and activity trends.
Example use cases
Competitive framework sentiment check
“Can you check how developers on HackerNews are feeling about SvelteKit right now compared to what I'd expect — is it gaining momentum or getting criticism?”
Startup PR pulse check
“We just launched our startup Supastream — can you see if there's any HackerNews buzz or discussion about us and what the sentiment looks like?”
AI model community reception
“How is the developer community on HackerNews reacting to Mistral's latest model release? I want to know the front-page velocity and overall sentiment.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://mesh.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — particularly useful for tracking how a framework, startup, library, or AI model is perceived by the technical community at this moment. Prefer it over general web search sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically developers and the HackerNews community, or when front-page velocity and discussion thread depth matter as signal quality indicators.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query returns low-signal results with no actionable sentiment
- Very niche or obscure topics may return sparse HackerNews data
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews/Algolia API unavailability may cause timeouts
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before execution
- Idempotency-Key collision may return cached prior result unexpectedly
