Endpoint
GEThttps://onchain-risk.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — as opposed to general social media sentiment tools — for technical topics like frameworks, AI models, libraries, or developer-focused startups. It is ideal when the target audience is software engineers and the signal source (HackerNews front-page velocity and discussion threads) is specifically relevant to your use case.
Side effects
- Empty or too-broad query returns low-signal or noisy results
- Keyword not found in recent HackerNews activity returns empty or minimal results
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC payment is not provided or insufficient
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews API unavailability causes timeout or error
- Highly generic keywords (e.g. 'AI') may return overwhelming undifferentiated results
