## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability workflows-agentdiet-dev-hackernews-developer-ecosystem-real-time-182069f5

Example prompt: What's the current HackerNews sentiment and front-page velocity for 'Anthropic Claude' — are developers excited, skeptical, or neutral about it right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical source for tech-savvy, early-adopter opinions on frameworks, AI models, and startups. Prefer this over general social media sentiment APIs when your user cares about the engineering and developer audience specifically, not mainstream consumer opinion.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query string returns a validation error
- Very niche or obscure topics may return sparse or no HackerNews results
- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) blocks the response if x402 funds are insufficient
- Rate limiting may apply if the same query is repeated rapidly
- HackerNews API outage or latency may cause delayed or failed responses
