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/tech-trends)
Output
Returns aggregated data from live HackerNews discussions including developer sentiment signals, front-page velocity metrics, and community reaction summaries for the queried technology, startup, library, or AI model keyword.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“Can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about the new Llama 3 model right now — is the sentiment mostly positive, and how fast is it trending on the front page?”
Startup competitive intelligence
“I'm researching a competitor — pull the latest HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for Linear, the project management startup, so I can see how the developer community feels about them.”
Framework adoption signal
“We're deciding between Svelte and Vue for our next project — can you check HackerNews to see which one has more active discussion and better developer sentiment right now?”
Technical details
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-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than broad social media sentiment — ideal for gauging technical reception of frameworks, AI models, startups, or libraries among the developer ecosystem specifically. Prefer this over general social sentiment APIs when the target audience is developers and engineers.
Side effects
- Empty or very short query string rejected due to minLength constraint
- Topic with no recent HackerNews presence returns sparse or empty sentiment data
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returning 402 or 5xx errors
- Ambiguous keyword may return mixed results from unrelated HackerNews threads
