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 sentiment signals, front-page velocity metrics, and developer discussion data sourced from HackerNews for the queried technology, startup, or topic — including sentiment polarity, mention frequency, and relevant discussion threads.
Example use cases
AI model community reception check
“Can you pull the current HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for Claude 3.5 Sonnet? I want to know how developers are reacting to it right now.”
Startup traction signal before investment
“What's the HackerNews buzz and front-page velocity around the startup Warp terminal? Are developers talking positively or negatively about it lately?”
Framework momentum tracking
“How is Svelte being discussed on HackerNews these days — is it gaining developer momentum or losing ground compared to what you'd expect?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://mesh.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 gauging technical reception of frameworks, AI models, or startups among a highly technical audience. Prefer this over general social media sentiment tools when the target audience is developers and engineers rather than the general public.
Side effects
- Empty or ambiguous query returns no results or unrelated discussions
- Very niche or obscure topics may have insufficient HackerNews data for meaningful sentiment
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment is not fulfilled
- HackerNews API downtime may cause stale or missing results
- Overly broad queries (e.g. 'AI') may return noisy, unfocused sentiment data
