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://sec-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data for the queried topic, including front-page velocity metrics, engagement signals, post activity, and an aggregated developer sentiment reading indicating whether community reception is positive, neutral, or negative.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“We just launched a new open-source LLM called Helios-7B — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and front-page velocity for it so I know how the developer community is reacting?”
Competitor framework monitoring
“What's the current developer sentiment on HackerNews for SvelteKit? I want to compare it against how people feel about Next.js before our engineering blog post goes out.”
Startup buzz before fundraise
“We're about to pitch VCs next week — can you check HackerNews right now for any discussions about our startup Meridian AI and tell me if the sentiment is positive or negative?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://sec-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community pulse specifically from HackerNews — the most influential tech forum for engineers, founders, and early adopters. Ideal for tracking launch buzz, competitive sentiment, or trending velocity of a technology topic among a technical audience, rather than general social media or mainstream news sentiment.
