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/hackernews-trends)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including front-page velocity metrics, aggregated developer sentiment signals, relevant thread summaries, and trending momentum indicators for the queried keyword.
Example use cases
AI model launch reception check
“What are developers on HackerNews saying about Claude 3.5 Sonnet right now — is the sentiment mostly positive, and how fast is it trending on the front page?”
Startup competitor buzz monitoring
“Can you pull the current HackerNews discussion sentiment and velocity for 'Linear' so I can see how the dev community feels about them compared to us?”
Open-source library traction research
“I just open-sourced a library called 'drizzle-orm' — check HackerNews to see what developer sentiment looks like and whether it's getting any traction or front-page hits.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://workflows.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment and momentum data from HackerNews rather than general social media sentiment. It is ideal for tracking how technical audiences — engineers, founders, and open-source contributors — are reacting to a specific technology, startup, or AI model at this moment, rather than relying on lagging indicators like review sites or broad social platforms.
Side effects
- Empty or too-broad query keyword returns low-signal or irrelevant results
- Very niche or newly coined terms may return no HackerNews matches
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not handled by the client
- Rate limiting if the same query is polled too frequently
- Transient upstream HackerNews API unavailability causing delayed or empty responses
