Endpoint
GEThttps://serp-extract.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?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 founder and engineer opinion — rather than general social media sentiment. Ideal for tracking framework adoption, startup reception, or AI model buzz among a technical audience. Prefer over general web search when you specifically care about HackerNews front-page velocity or developer ecosystem reactions.
Side effects

- Rate limiting or HTTP 402 payment failure if micropayment not processed
