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://onchain-risk.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity metrics, relevant thread summaries, and an aggregated developer sentiment signal for the queried keyword, reflecting the current community pulse on that technology or topic.
Example use cases
AI model community reception check
“What are HackerNews developers saying about 'Gemini 2.0' right now — is the community excited or skeptical, and how fast is it trending on the front page?”
Startup HackerNews buzz monitoring
“Can you check whether my startup 'Mintlify' is getting any HackerNews traction today and what the developer sentiment looks like in the discussions?”
Framework rivalry sentiment analysis
“Pull the live HackerNews sentiment for 'Bun' the JavaScript runtime — I want to know how developers are reacting to it compared to expectations.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://onchain-risk.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than broad social media sentiment. Ideal for tracking how the technical community reacts to a new framework, AI model release, or startup — especially when front-page velocity and discussion depth matter more than tweet volume or general public opinion.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query keyword yields no matching HackerNews stories
- HackerNews API downtime causes unavailable results
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not processed
- Rate limiting if the same keyword is queried too rapidly
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may return irrelevant discussions
