## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sec-intel-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-0c22d07b
```

Example prompt: What's the current HackerNews sentiment and front-page velocity for 'Bun' — are developers excited or skeptical about it right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community opinion and momentum signals specifically from HackerNews — the canonical forum for technical founders and engineers. It is preferable over general web sentiment tools when the target audience is developers, and over static datasets when you need live front-page velocity or breaking discussion threads rather than historical averages.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-generic query returns low-signal or sparse results
- HackerNews Algolia API downtime causes fetch failure
- Very niche or misspelled keyword yields no matching discussions
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) blocks the request
- Response schema is loosely typed object — downstream parsing may require resilience
