How this service works

Example use cases

“I just heard about Meta's new Llama model — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity around it so I can see how the developer community is reacting?”
Startup competitive intelligence check
“We're about to launch a product that competes with Vercel — can you check the real-time HackerNews sentiment around Vercel right now so I know what pain points developers are venting about?”
Framework adoption signal for engineering decision

Endpoint
POSThttps://onchain-risk.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment rather than general social media sentiment. It is ideal for gauging how technical audiences on HackerNews are reacting to a framework, startup, or AI model — especially when front-page velocity and discussion depth matter more than follower counts or likes. Prefer this over Twitter/X sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically software engineers and technical founders.
Side effects
- Empty or ambiguous query returns no meaningful results
- Niche or newly coined technology names may yield sparse or no HackerNews data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before processing
- HackerNews API downtime may cause delayed or incomplete results
- Very broad queries (e.g. 'AI') may return noisy, unfocused sentiment data
