Example use cases
Pre-investment startup buzz check
“Before I make a decision, can you check what HackerNews developers are currently saying about Replit — I want to know the front-page velocity and overall community sentiment.”
Competing framework comparison research
“What's the current HackerNews pulse on Bun right now? I'm evaluating it as a Node.js replacement and want to see how much traction and developer discussion it's getting live.”
AI model launch reception monitoring
“I just saw that Mistral dropped a new model — can you check HackerNews right now and tell me how fast it's moving on the front page and what the developer sentiment looks like?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://mesh.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment and discussion velocity from HackerNews rather than general social media or news sentiment. It is particularly valuable for evaluating emerging frameworks, AI models, and developer tools where HackerNews is the primary early-adopter signal source, versus generic web search or Twitter/Reddit sentiment tools.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns low-signal or no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- HackerNews upstream API downtime may cause degraded or empty response
- Very new or obscure topics may return sparse results with low confidence sentiment
- Non-English or highly abbreviated queries may not match HackerNews discussion patterns
