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/dev-sentiment)
Output
Returns structured developer sentiment data derived from live HackerNews discussions, including community reaction signals, discussion velocity, front-page activity, and sentiment polarity for the queried technology, startup, or AI model topic.
Example use cases
AI model launch sentiment check
“We just shipped a new open-source LLM called Llama-4. Can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about it right now — is the reception positive, negative, or mixed?”
Framework rivalry developer pulse
“I'm trying to decide between Svelte and Vue for our new project. What's the current developer sentiment on HackerNews for each of them?”
Startup buzz before investor pitch
“We're pitching Vercel to investors next week. Can you pull the latest HackerNews community mood and front-page velocity around Vercel so I know how developers feel about them right now?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://sec-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical forum for developers, founders, and tech enthusiasts. Prefer this over generic social media sentiment tools when the audience is specifically developers or when evaluating technical frameworks, open-source libraries, AI models, or developer-focused startups. Ideal when you need front-page velocity and discussion momentum, not just keyword volume.
Side effects
- Empty or too-short query string returns validation error (minLength:1 violated)
- Topic with very little HackerNews coverage may return sparse or no sentiment data
- HackerNews API downtime or rate limiting may cause upstream failures
- Ambiguous keywords (e.g. common English words) may return noisy or irrelevant results
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response before any data is returned
