Endpoint
GEThttps://shopify-spy.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 gold standard forum for engineers, founders, and early adopters. Prefer it over general social media sentiment APIs when your audience cares about technical credibility, developer adoption signals, or startup traction within the engineering community. Ideal for competitive intelligence on frameworks, libraries, or AI models where HN front-page velocity is a meaningful signal.

- HackerNews API rate limits or outages cause upstream failures
- Misspelled or ambiguous keywords may return off-topic discussions
