Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data for the queried keyword, including front-page velocity metrics, active thread summaries, and aggregated developer sentiment signals reflecting community opinion on the topic in real time.
Example use cases
AI model launch community reaction
“Can you check what developers on HackerNews are saying about the new Gemini 2.0 model right now — I want to know the sentiment and how fast it's trending on the front page.”
YC startup buzz tracker
“What's the HackerNews buzz around the startup 'Anysphere' — are there active threads, and what's the overall developer sentiment toward them?”
Framework adoption sentiment check

Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — ideal for tracking YC startup launches, evaluating framework adoption momentum, assessing community reception of a new AI model, or gauging front-page velocity of a tech topic. Prefer this over general web search when the goal is developer-specific opinion rather than broad media coverage.
Side effects
- Empty or generic query string returns no meaningful results
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime cause data gaps
- Very niche or misspelled keywords yield zero matching threads
- Sentiment signal may be sparse for very new or obscure topics
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC balance is insufficient
