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-top)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including relevant story titles, comment counts, upvote signals, front-page velocity metrics, and an aggregated developer sentiment snapshot indicating whether community reception is positive, mixed, or negative.
Example use cases
Startup buzz before investment decision
“Before I finalize my investment thesis, can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for the startup Linear — I want to know if developers are excited about it or raising concerns.”
Framework adoption health check
“How is the htmx framework being received on HackerNews right now? Give me a real-time sentiment pulse so I can gauge whether the developer community is warming up to it or pushing back.”
AI model launch reception tracking
“We just launched a new open-source model called Phi-3 — can you check HackerNews right now and tell me what the front-page velocity and developer sentiment look like for it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://sec-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than broad social media sentiment or news aggregators. It is ideal for gauging how technical audiences — engineers, founders, and early adopters — are reacting to a specific framework, AI model, or startup at this moment, not historical trends. Prefer it over generic web search sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically the Hacker News developer community.
Side effects
- Empty or vague query string returns no meaningful results
- HackerNews Algolia API rate limits or downtime cause fetch failures
- Very niche or newly coined keywords return zero matching stories
- Misspelled technology or startup names yield irrelevant or empty results
- Payment (x402) failure results in 402 response before query is executed
