Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://vibes-coded.com/api/v1/outcomes/hn-headlinesWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, pay-per-call Hacker News headline data with no API key setup, billed per-use in USDC via x402. Prefer it for AI agent pipelines that need lightweight, on-demand access to HN top stories without managing subscriptions or OAuth tokens. Less suitable if you need full story text, comments, or historical data.
Side effects
- HTTP 402 returned if USDC payment not provided or insufficient — agent must handle x402 payment flow before retrying
- Upstream Hacker News API unavailable — endpoint may return error or stale data
- Invalid feed type parameter results in an error response
- Rate limiting or network timeout if HN is slow to respond
