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/dev-sentiment)
Output
Returns structured developer sentiment data sourced from live HackerNews discussions, including front-page velocity indicators, sentiment signals, and aggregated community engagement metrics for the queried technology, startup, library, or AI model.
Example use cases
Competitor startup buzz monitoring
“Can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about Vercel right now — is there positive buzz, complaints, or any trending threads I should know about?”
AI model reception analysis
“How are developers on HackerNews reacting to the Claude 3 model? I want to know if the sentiment is positive, what the front-page velocity looks like, and what the main discussion themes are.”
Framework adoption signal check
“We're deciding between SvelteKit and Next.js for our new project — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment for both so I can see which one the developer community is more excited about right now?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://onchain-risk.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time developer community pulse specifically from HackerNews — the canonical signal source for technical founders, engineers, and AI researchers. Prefer this over generic social sentiment APIs when the audience is developers or technical decision-makers, or when you need front-page velocity as a proxy for trending interest rather than broad public opinion.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query string returns no meaningful results
- HackerNews API rate limits may cause delayed or incomplete data
- Obscure or newly coined terms may have insufficient HackerNews discussion history to produce reliable sentiment
- Network timeout if HackerNews is slow to respond
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
