How this service works

Output
Returns a structured object containing live HackerNews discussion data, front-page velocity metrics, and aggregated developer sentiment signals for the queried topic — including relevant threads, comment trends, and community reception indicators.
Example use cases
YC Startup Launch Reception Check
“We just launched on HackerNews — can you pull the live sentiment and discussion velocity for 'Supabase' to see how the developer community is reacting?”
Framework Rivalry Sentiment Analysis
“What's the current HackerNews developer sentiment around 'htmx' — are people enthusiastic or dismissive compared to what I'd expect?”
AI Model Community Buzz Tracking
“Check HackerNews for live discussion and sentiment on 'Mistral' — I want to know if developers are positive, negative, or neutral about it right now.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://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 — ideal for tracking YC startup launches, monitoring how a new framework or AI model is being received by technical audiences, or gauging front-page velocity. Prefer this over generic social sentiment APIs when the target audience is developers and the signal source needs to be HackerNews specifically.
Side effects
- Empty or vague query string returns no meaningful results
- Highly niche or misspelled topic keyword yields sparse HackerNews data
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC micropayment is not properly attached
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews API unavailability causes timeout or error
- Response schema is loosely typed (generic object), so structure may vary by topic
