Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://hn_search.hergertsynthora.com/serviceWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time signals from the Hacker News tech community — startup sentiment, developer reactions, emerging technology discussions, or market buzz — without needing to scrape or authenticate with HN directly. It is ideal for agents that need structured, fast access to HN data with a pay-per-call micropayment model rather than managing API keys or quotas.
Side effects
- Empty result set if query matches no indexed HN content
- Algolia backend unavailability causing failed lookups
- Malformed or missing query parameter returning an error
- Payment failure via x402 preventing request execution
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in quick succession
