## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability token-intel-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-1017efed
```

Example prompt: What's the current developer sentiment and HackerNews buzz around LangChain — are devs excited about it or pushing back?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than general social media sentiment; ideal for gauging how software engineers and technical founders perceive a specific technology, startup, or AI model at this moment, especially when front-page velocity and discussion depth matter more than broad public opinion.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns validation error
- Query term too generic may return low-signal or noisy results
- No recent HackerNews activity for niche topics may yield sparse sentiment data
- Payment not completed via x402 may result in 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting may trigger if called too frequently
