How this service works

Output
Returns aggregated HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including live front-page velocity signals, relevant story links or comment threads, and an overall developer sentiment assessment indicating whether community reception is positive, negative, or mixed.
Example use cases

“We just launched our YC startup 'Fable AI' — can you check what HackerNews is saying about us right now, including how fast we're moving on the front page and what the developer sentiment looks like?”
Framework adoption community pulse
“I'm writing a report on Rust adoption — can you pull the live HackerNews discussions and developer sentiment around Rust so I can see how the community feels about it today?”
Competitor AI model reaction tracking

Endpoint
GEThttps://sec-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical source for technical founders, early adopters, and the YC/startup ecosystem. Prefer this over generic social listening tools when your audience is developers or technical decision-makers, or when tracking startup launches, framework debates, or AI model reception among engineers.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query terms may return no matching HN discussions
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime may cause failures or stale data
- Very broad single-word queries may return noisy, unfocused results
- Payment failure via x402 will block the response with HTTP 402
