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://serp-extract.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse)
Output
Returns a structured object containing live HackerNews discussion data for the queried topic, including sentiment signals, front-page velocity metrics, recent thread summaries, and developer opinion indicators drawn from real-time HackerNews Algolia queries.
Example use cases
Competitive framework sentiment check
“Can you pull live HackerNews sentiment on Next.js versus Remix right now? I want to know which one developers are talking about more positively and how fast each is moving on the front page.”
AI model reception monitoring
“What are developers saying about Claude 3.5 on HackerNews? I want to know if the sentiment is positive or negative and how much discussion velocity it's generating compared to when it launched.”
Startup buzz assessment before fundraise
“We're about to close a fundraising round and I want to know if our startup name 'Linear' has any recent HackerNews buzz — pull the sentiment pulse and tell me how much front-page velocity it has.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://serp-extract.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment rather than general social media or news sentiment. It is ideal for gauging how the technical community on HackerNews specifically perceives a framework, startup, AI model, or library, and for tracking front-page velocity as a proxy for buzz. Prefer this over generic web search sentiment when your target audience is developers and the HackerNews community specifically.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns no meaningful discussions
- HackerNews Algolia upstream outage causes no results
- Query term is misspelled or uses an uncommon alias, returning low-relevance threads
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in a short window
