How this service works

Example use cases
Startup buzz before a pitch deck
“Can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about Notion right now — is sentiment positive, negative, or mixed, and how fast is it trending on the front page?”
Framework adoption signal for engineering decision
“We're deciding between SvelteKit and Next.js — what does HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity look like for each of them at the moment?”
AI model reception tracking post-launch

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://whale-momentum.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-velocity-radar?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community reaction — not lagging social media or blog roundups — specifically from the HackerNews audience (engineers, founders, early adopters). It is best suited for gauging technical consensus, controversy, or momentum around frameworks, libraries, AI models, and developer-facing startups. Prefer it over general web sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically the technical/developer demographic that congregates on HackerNews.
Side effects
- Empty or ambiguous query string returns no meaningful sentiment data
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime cause stale or missing results
- Niche or very new topics may have insufficient discussion volume for reliable sentiment
- Misspelled or overly broad keywords may return unrelated discussions
- Payment failure via x402 returns HTTP 402 before any data is returned
