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://workflows.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse)
Output
Returns a structured analysis of live HackerNews activity for the queried keyword, including relevant discussion threads, front-page velocity metrics, and an aggregated developer sentiment signal indicating how positively or negatively the community is reacting to the topic.
Example use cases
Pre-adoption framework due diligence
“Before we commit to migrating our backend to Elixir, can you check what developers are saying about it on HackerNews right now — any red flags, complaints, or strong enthusiasm?”
Startup reputation monitoring
“Can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment for 'Linear' the project management tool — I want to know how fast it's trending and what the developer community is saying about it today?”
AI model community reception check
“What's the HackerNews community reaction to Mistral 7B — is there a lot of discussion, and is the overall developer sentiment positive or negative?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://workflows.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-specific sentiment from the HackerNews community rather than general social media or Twitter sentiment. It is especially valuable for evaluating developer tools, open-source libraries, AI models, and tech startups where HackerNews is the primary community discussion forum. Prefer this over generic web scraping when you want structured velocity and sentiment signals rather than raw HTML.
Side effects
- Empty or ambiguous query string returns no meaningful results
- Very niche or brand-new topics may have insufficient HackerNews data to produce reliable sentiment
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime could result in incomplete data
- Topics with extremely common words may return noisy, off-topic discussions
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 and no data
