Framework popularity pulse before tech decision
“We're deciding between Svelte and React for our new project — can you pull live HackerNews sentiment on both so I know which the dev community is more bullish on?”

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical source for tech-savvy early-adopter opinion. Prefer it over general social media sentiment tools when the audience is developers, founders, or technical decision-makers. Ideal for tracking framework adoption debates, startup reputation, AI model reception, and OSS library momentum among the HN community.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query returns low-signal or no results
- Niche or misspelled keyword yields zero matching HN discussions
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews API downtime may cause delayed or failed responses
- Payment failure (x402) results in 402 response with no data returned
- Very new topics with minimal HN coverage produce sparse sentiment data
