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/tech-trends)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data, front-page velocity metrics, and aggregated developer sentiment for the queried keyword — including relevant threads, scores, and trend indicators for that technology, startup, or AI model.
Example use cases
AI model launch sentiment check
“Can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for 'Gemini 2.0' — I want to know how the developer community is reacting to the launch right now.”
Startup buzz monitoring before pitch
“Check what HackerNews is saying about 'Linear' — I need to understand the developer sentiment and how fast it's trending before my investor meeting.”
Framework adoption pulse check
“What does the HackerNews developer community think about 'htmx' right now? Give me a sentiment read and how active the discussions are.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://mesh.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community opinion and HackerNews-specific discussion velocity for a technology, startup, or AI model — especially when you want a pulse from the technical early-adopter community rather than general social media or news sentiment. Prefer this over generic web search when the signal you need is specifically from HackerNews threads and front-page momentum.
Side effects
- Empty or whitespace query string returns validation error
- Highly niche or obscure topic may return sparse results with low confidence
- HackerNews Algolia API downtime may cause upstream fetch failures
- Overly broad queries (e.g. 'AI') may return noisy, unfocused sentiment aggregates
- Rate limiting or payment failures may return 402 errors
