How this service works

Output
Returns a structured object containing live HackerNews discussion data, front-page velocity metrics, sentiment signals (positive/negative/neutral developer reactions), relevant thread references, and community pulse indicators for the queried keyword or topic.
Example use cases
YC batch launch reception check
“My startup just launched on HackerNews — can you pull the live sentiment and front-page velocity for 'Agentic Labs' and tell me how the developer community is reacting right now?”
Framework adoption signal research
“What are developers on HackerNews actually saying about Bun right now? I want to know if community sentiment is positive or negative and how much discussion volume it's getting.”
Competitor AI model perception audit
“Pull the real-time HackerNews sentiment for 'Gemini 2.0' — I need to understand whether the developer community is bullish or critical compared to what I'd expect for a major AI release.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://whale-momentum.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — especially for tech startups, programming frameworks, AI models, or YC launches. It is ideal when you need front-page velocity and discussion momentum, not historical data or broad social media sentiment across Twitter or Reddit. Prefer this over generic web scraping when you want structured, pre-analyzed developer opinion rather than raw HTML.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query with no HackerNews activity returns sparse or empty results
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime cause upstream fetch failures
- Overly broad single-word queries (e.g. 'AI') may return unfocused or overwhelming sentiment signals
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment protocol returns 402 status before any data is fetched
- Misspelled or non-existent product names return no matching discussions
