How this service works

Research digest (HN/GitHub/arXiv) and web page → markdown extractor. Paid x402 (USDC on Base) routes under /paid/*; free rate-limited demo under /v1/*.

Output

A JSON object containing the original topic query, per-source result counts, a list of extracted themes, and per-source arrays of results — each result including a URL, publication date, score, title, and short summary — enabling an agent to surface the most relevant and highly-scored recent content across the selected sources.

Example use cases

Weekly AI research briefing

“Give me a digest of what's been happening in the AI agents space over the last 7 days across Hacker News and arXiv — I want titles, summaries, and scores so I can skim the highlights.”

Open source ecosystem pulse check

“What has the developer community been discussing about Rust over the past 30 days on Hacker News and GitHub? Pull a digest so I can see the top threads and repos people are excited about.”

Academic paper discovery for a new topic

“I'm starting to learn about quantum computing — can you pull a digest of recent arXiv papers and HN discussions from the last 60 days so I can get up to speed on what researchers are working on?”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need a multi-source research digest combining community discussion (Hacker News), open-source activity (GitHub), and academic papers (arXiv) in a single call. It is well-suited for agents that need to brief users on emerging tech topics, monitor discourse across dev communities, or bootstrap domain knowledge. Prefer this over single-source scrapers when breadth across community, code, and academic dimensions matters. The $0.01/call x402 pricing makes it suitable for automated pipelines with moderate call frequency.

Side effects

Missing required 'topic' query parameter returns a 400 or validation error
Payment not provided or insufficient USDC triggers a 402 Payment Required response
Topic string exceeding 200 characters is rejected
Days value outside 1–365 range is rejected
Source names not in the accepted set (hn, github, arxiv) may be ignored or error
External source APIs (HN, GitHub, arXiv) being unavailable may result in partial or empty results for that source
Rate limiting on the underlying source scrapers may return fewer results than expected
