Endpoint
POSThttps://quanta-roan.vercel.app/api/service/hacker-news?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when your agent needs programmatic, pay-per-use access to Hacker News data via an x402 micropayment flow without managing a separate API key; ideal for web3-native agents that already handle USDC payments on-chain.
Side effects
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid path resulting in a 404 from the upstream Hacker News API
- Malformed query parameters causing upstream errors
- Rate limiting or downtime on the underlying Hacker News API
- Network timeout on the Vercel proxy layer
