## 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-e57ae660
```

Example prompt: What's the real-time developer sentiment on HackerNews about Rust right now — are people bullish or skeptical, and how fast is it moving on the front page?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment and discussion velocity from HackerNews, as opposed to general social media sentiment or news aggregation. Ideal when the user cares specifically about how technical practitioners (engineers, founders, researchers) are reacting to a technology, startup, or AI model, rather than mainstream consumer opinion.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-generic query returns no meaningful results
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime cause fetch failures
- Very niche or misspelled keyword returns zero matching threads
- Response schema is generic object with no guaranteed fields, so output structure may vary
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 error before any data is returned
