Endpoint
GEThttps://x402broker.com/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 signal for technical founder and early-adopter opinion. Prefer this over generic social sentiment APIs when your audience is developers, engineers, or startup founders, and when HackerNews front-page velocity is a meaningful signal (e.g. evaluating a new open-source library, AI model, or startup's community traction).
Side effects
- Empty or too-broad query returns noisy or irrelevant results

- HackerNews API downtime may cause fetch failures or stale data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 payment is not properly handled
- Misspelled or abbreviated topic names may miss relevant threads
