Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://whale-momentum.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical forum for technical early adopters — rather than general social media sentiment. Best for evaluating frameworks, AI models, dev tools, and startups where the HackerNews audience's opinion is a leading indicator of developer adoption.
Side effects
- Empty or ambiguous query string returns no meaningful results
- Very niche or misspelled keyword yields no HackerNews matches
- Rate limits or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment not processed
- Service may return stale data if HackerNews API is throttled upstream
- Overly broad keywords (e.g. 'AI') may produce low-signal aggregated results
