How this service works

Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data, front-page velocity metrics, and aggregated developer sentiment signals for the queried technology, startup, or topic keyword. Likely includes relevant thread titles, comment counts, upvote signals, and an overall sentiment indicator.
Example use cases
Competitive AI model reception check
“What are developers on HackerNews saying about Mistral versus GPT-4 right now — is one getting more positive buzz than the other?”
Startup launch community reception
“We just launched our dev tool startup Hookdeck — can you check HackerNews to see if there's any discussion about us and what the sentiment looks like?”
Framework adoption momentum tracking
“I'm deciding between SvelteKit and Remix for my next project — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for each so I can see which one the developer community is more excited about?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://preflight.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment and discussion velocity from HackerNews — not generic social media sentiment. It is ideal for tracking how the technical community reacts to a new AI model, framework release, or startup launch, especially when developer mindshare and Hacker News front-page traction are the metrics that matter most.
Side effects
- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Highly obscure or misspelled topics may return no results or low-confidence sentiment
- HackerNews API downtime or rate limits may cause incomplete or delayed data
- Extremely generic queries (e.g. 'code') may return noisy, unactionable results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol may block the request entirely
