## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the live Hacker News front page in an agentic workflow without managing API keys or OAuth — the x402 micropayment ($0.001 USDC) serves as identity and access, making it ideal for autonomous agents that can pay on-demand. Prefer this over scraping HN directly or using unofficial wrappers when you want a deterministic, pay-per-call interface with no registration overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Hacker News upstream unavailable — may return error or stale data
- Invalid schema parameter — may return 400 or unexpected structure
- Rate limiting or worker timeout on Cloudflare edge — returns 5xx

## How this service works

309 deterministic pay-per-call tools for AI agents over x402 (USDC, Base). No signup, no API key: the payment is the identity.
