Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://worlddata402.worlddata402.workers.dev/v1/hn/top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an agent needs programmatic, pay-per-call access to Hacker News top stories via the x402 micropayment protocol (USDC on Base mainnet), particularly in automated workflows where API key management is undesirable and per-call billing is preferred.
Side effects
- No limit specified returns a default number of stories which may be more or fewer than expected
- Hacker News upstream unavailability may cause empty or error responses
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base mainnet will block the request
- Overly large limit values may hit response size constraints
