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/dev-sentiment)
Output
Returns an object containing aggregated HackerNews discussion data, front-page velocity metrics, and developer sentiment signals for the queried technology, startup, or topic — including community reactions, trending momentum, and qualitative sentiment indicators drawn from live HackerNews threads.
Example use cases
Competitor framework sentiment tracking
“What are developers on HackerNews saying about Svelte these days? Is the sentiment more positive or negative compared to what you'd expect, and how fast are those discussions moving?”
AI model launch reaction monitoring
“Check HackerNews for me — what's the developer community's reaction to the new Claude 3.5 model? I want to know the sentiment and how much traction it's getting on the front page.”
Startup reputation due diligence
“I'm evaluating a startup called Replit — can you check what HackerNews developers are currently saying about them and give me a sense of the overall sentiment and discussion activity?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://workflows.agentdiet.dev/v1/dev-sentiment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment grounded in HackerNews discussions rather than general social media sentiment. It is particularly valuable for assessing how technical audiences (engineers, founders, open-source contributors) perceive a framework, AI model, or startup at this moment — not historical averages. Prefer it over general sentiment APIs when the target audience is explicitly the developer ecosystem and HackerNews community velocity is a meaningful signal for your use case.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query string returns low-signal or empty results
- Highly niche or obscure topics with no HackerNews presence may yield sparse data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment is not completed
- Transient upstream HackerNews API unavailability causing delayed or partial results
- Very new topics with minimal community discussion may show no velocity signal
