How this service works
Queries live HackerNews discussions, front-page velocity, and developer sentiment on any framework, startup, or AI model. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://whale-momentum.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends)
Output
Returns a structured object containing live HackerNews discussion data, front-page velocity metrics, and aggregated developer sentiment signals for the queried technology, startup, framework, or AI model keyword. Likely includes sentiment scores, discussion counts, velocity trends, and notable comment themes.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“I just saw that Anthropic dropped a new model — what are developers on HackerNews saying about Claude right now, and is it getting front-page traction?”
Startup due diligence sentiment scan
“Before I invest, can you pull the HackerNews sentiment pulse for Linear — I want to know how the developer community feels about them and whether buzz is growing or fading.”
Framework adoption health check
“We're choosing between SvelteKit and Remix for our next project — what's the live developer sentiment on HackerNews for each of them so I can see which one the community is more excited about?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://whale-momentum.agentdiet.dev/v1/tech-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — not general social media or Twitter sentiment. Ideal when evaluating technology adoption, startup reception, framework popularity, or AI model buzz among technical audiences. Prefer this over generic sentiment APIs when the audience is specifically developers and the signal source needs to be HackerNews discussions and front-page velocity.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query term returns no HackerNews results
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime cause degraded data freshness
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may return mixed unrelated results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
- Response schema is untyped (returns generic object), so output structure may vary
