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/hackernews-top)
Output
Returns real-time HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including front-page velocity (how fast posts are gaining traction), recent discussion threads, and an aggregated developer sentiment signal indicating whether community reception is positive, negative, or mixed.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“Pull the live HackerNews sentiment for 'Gemini 2.0' — I want to know how the developer community is reacting to the launch and whether it's trending on the front page.”
Startup competitive intelligence
“Check what HackerNews developers are saying about 'Linear' right now — front-page velocity, discussion threads, overall sentiment, the works.”
Framework adoption pulse before a tech decision
“We're deciding between Bun and Deno for our backend — can you grab the HackerNews sentiment and recent discussion velocity for both so I can see which one the dev community is more bullish on?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://serp-extract.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical signal for how technical builders perceive a technology, startup, or AI model. Prefer this over generic social media sentiment tools when your audience is developers or when HackerNews front-page velocity is a meaningful signal (e.g. assessing tech adoption, competitive positioning, or startup traction within the engineering community).
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query returns no results if the topic hasn't been discussed on HackerNews
- HackerNews Algolia API downtime may cause delayed or failed responses
- Overly broad queries may return noisy, unfocused sentiment data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if the $0.01 per-call payment is not settled
- Sentiment may lag for very recent news if HackerNews indexing hasn't caught up
