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.
Output
Returns a JSON object with ok and paid status flags, along with a list of Hacker News search results matching the query — typically including story titles, URLs, points/scores, comment counts, submission timestamps, and author usernames.
Example use cases
Track tech community sentiment on a topic
“Search Hacker News for discussions about Rust programming language and tell me what developers are saying about it lately.”
Find HN reaction to a major product launch
“Look up what Hacker News is saying about the latest OpenAI model release — I want to see the top posts and their scores.”
Research startup ecosystem coverage
“Search Hacker News for posts about Y Combinator's latest batch and pull up the most upvoted threads so I can see which startups people are excited about.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-toolbox.shablony-pro.workers.dev/news/hackernews-search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to tap into the tech-savvy Hacker News community's perspective on a topic — especially for developer tools, startups, programming languages, or tech industry news. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want developer community discourse and upvoted discussions rather than mainstream media coverage. The $0.001 USDC pay-per-call model with no signup makes it ideal for autonomous AI agents needing lightweight, frictionless access.
Side effects
- Empty results if the query matches no Hacker News stories
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance on Base
- Rate limiting or worker timeout for very broad queries
- Malformed schema parameter returning a 400-level error
- Hacker News upstream API downtime causing failed responses
