## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the authoritative signal for technical founders, open source maintainers, and AI researchers wanting to know how the hacker/developer community perceives a technology, startup, or model right now, as opposed to general social media sentiment or Twitter/Reddit analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly broad query returns noisy or irrelevant results
- Very niche or misspelled topic keyword returns no matching HackerNews discussions
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime causes upstream fetch failures
- Topic with no recent HackerNews activity returns sparse or stale data
- Payment not accepted or x402 handshake failure causes 402 error
