Example use cases
AI model reception audit
“Check HackerNews right now and tell me how developers are reacting to the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet release — is the sentiment mostly positive, negative, or mixed?”
Startup buzz before pitch deck
“I'm pitching to investors tomorrow — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment on Linear, the project management tool, so I can see how the dev community feels about it?”
Framework evaluation for new project

Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical signal source for technical founders, AI researchers, and developer-tooling decisions. Prefer it over general social media sentiment APIs when your audience is developers, when you need front-page velocity as a trend signal, or when evaluating how a technical product or framework is perceived by the engineering community right now.
Side effects
- Empty or too-generic query returns low-signal or ambiguous results
- HackerNews API downtime causes fetch failures or stale data
- Very niche or obscure topics may return no matching discussions
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if many queries are issued rapidly without idempotency keys
