## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sec-intel-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-d1d8d584
```

Example prompt: What's the current developer sentiment on HackerNews about LangChain — are people excited, skeptical, or mixed about it right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment sourced directly from HackerNews rather than general social media sentiment. Ideal for tracking reception of developer tools, frameworks, AI models, or startups among technical audiences specifically, where HackerNews front-page velocity is a meaningful signal.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very niche query returns no HackerNews results
- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment fails
- Rate limiting if query volume exceeds allowed threshold
- Ambiguous keyword may return noisy, unrelated discussions
- Transient HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes empty response
