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://prompt-guard.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment)
Output
Returns a structured object containing developer sentiment analysis derived from live HackerNews discussions, including sentiment polarity, front-page velocity metrics, and relevant discussion signals for the queried technology, startup, library, or AI model.
Example use cases
Pre-launch framework reception check
“Before we announce our new JavaScript framework, can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about similar tools like Bun.js and Deno right now — are they excited, skeptical, or burned out on new JS runtimes?”
Startup competitive intelligence
“I'm doing due diligence on a startup called Vercel — what's the live HackerNews sentiment around them, and has there been any recent controversy or strong developer praise in the discussions?”
AI model adoption pulse
“What's the developer community on HackerNews saying about Mistral AI right now — is sentiment positive, is it getting front-page traction, and how does the discussion velocity look compared to what you'd expect for a trending model?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://prompt-guard.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer sentiment specifically sourced from HackerNews — the canonical community for early-adopter engineers, startup founders, and AI researchers. It is best suited for gauging technical community reception of frameworks, AI models, dev tools, and startups, rather than general public or social-media sentiment. Prefer it over generic sentiment APIs when the HackerNews developer perspective is the signal that matters.
Side effects
- Empty or too-broad query returns low-signal or ambiguous results
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime may cause stale or missing data
- Niche or newly-coined terms may have insufficient discussion data
- Response schema is loosely typed (generic object), so downstream parsing may require defensive handling
- Payment failure via x402 will block access to results
