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/dev-sentiment)
Output
Returns aggregated developer sentiment data derived from live HackerNews discussions, including sentiment polarity, front-page velocity metrics, and a summary of what developers are saying about the queried technology, startup, or AI model.
Example use cases
Competitive framework sentiment check
“Can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment for Next.js right now? I want to know if developers are praising it or pushing back on it.”
Startup launch community reaction
“We just launched our startup Driftly — can you check what HackerNews is saying about it and how fast it's moving on the front page?”
AI model developer buzz analysis
“What's the HackerNews developer community saying about Claude 3 compared to the general buzz? I want to know if it's trending positively or getting criticized.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://whale-momentum.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-sourced sentiment on a specific technology, framework, startup, or AI model from HackerNews discussions — particularly when you need front-page velocity signals rather than social media or general web sentiment. Prefer this over generic sentiment APIs when the target audience is specifically software developers and technical founders.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query returns low-signal or ambiguous results
- Very niche or newly coined terms may have insufficient HackerNews coverage
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment not processed
- Service unavailability returns an error with no partial data
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'Apple') may conflate multiple topics without disambiguation
