How this service works

Example use cases
Pre-launch competitor sentiment check
“Before we ship our new developer tool, can you check what HackerNews is currently saying about our main competitor Vercel — what's the developer sentiment and how fast are posts about them moving on the front page?”
AI model buzz monitoring
“I want to know the real-time developer sentiment on HackerNews about Claude 3.5 Sonnet — are people excited about it, critical, or is it barely being discussed?”
Framework adoption pulse for investment due diligence
“I'm evaluating whether to invest in a company built on Elixir — can you pull the current HackerNews discussion velocity and overall developer sentiment around Elixir right now?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://shopify-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment rather than general social media sentiment. It is best suited for technology, framework, startup, or AI model topics where the HackerNews audience (professional developers and technical founders) is the relevant signal. Prefer this over Twitter/Reddit sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically the technical developer ecosystem.
Side effects
- Empty or vague query string returns no meaningful results
- Very niche or misspelled keyword yields sparse or zero matching discussions
- HackerNews API unavailability causes degraded or stale data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) blocks the request
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may conflate unrelated topics
