Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://prompt-guard.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the authoritative signal for how technical early adopters and startup-ecosystem insiders feel about a technology, framework, startup, or AI model. Prefer it over general social media sentiment tools when your audience is developers, engineers, or technical investors who weight HN opinion heavily.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query returns no matching HackerNews discussions
- Topic with no recent HackerNews activity yields low-confidence sentiment
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment not fulfilled
- Ambiguous query keyword matching unintended topics and returning irrelevant sentiment
- API timeout if HackerNews live data source is temporarily unavailable
