Endpoint
GEThttps://prompt-guard.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews discussions — ideal for gauging organic developer enthusiasm, skepticism, or controversy around a technology. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured sentiment signals rather than raw search results, or when HackerNews front-page velocity is a proxy metric you care about for investment, adoption, or competitive research decisions.
