Endpoint
GEThttps://shopify-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical pulse for the developer and tech startup ecosystem. Prefer this over general web sentiment tools when your audience is engineers, founders, or technical decision-makers, or when you want front-page velocity as a proxy for hype trajectory. Ideal for competitive intelligence on frameworks, AI models, or startups from a developer-first lens.
Side effects
- Empty or vague query string returns no meaningful results
- Highly obscure or misspelled topic may yield no matching HackerNews threads
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC payment is not properly attached
- Service may return stale or incomplete data if HackerNews API is temporarily unavailable
- Very broad generic queries (e.g. 'AI') may return overwhelming or unfocused results
