How this service works

Output
Returns aggregated real-time developer sentiment data sourced from live HackerNews discussions, including front-page velocity signals, mention frequency, and sentiment orientation (positive/negative/mixed) for the queried keyword or topic.
Example use cases
Competitor startup sentiment check
“Can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment on Linear — I want to know how the developer community is currently talking about it before our product launch.”
AI model reception monitoring
“What's the HackerNews pulse on Claude 3.5 Sonnet right now? Are developers bullish or skeptical based on recent discussions?”
Framework adoption signal research
“I'm evaluating whether to adopt Bun for our backend — can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about it and how fast it's trending?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://token-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-centric sentiment specifically from the HackerNews community — ideal for tracking startup launches, framework adoption, AI model reception, or YC-adjacent tech buzz. Prefer this over generic social sentiment APIs when the target audience is technical developers and founders rather than mainstream consumers.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns low-signal or empty results
- Topic with no recent HackerNews activity returns minimal data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC payment not attached
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may conflate unrelated topics
- Service downtime or upstream HackerNews API unavailability
