datastand.dev
A ranked, tagged digest of the last 24h of high-signal Hacker News stories, scored by engagement, with links and discussion volume. Every row is classified across eleven topics — ai, devtools, data, infra, security, web, hardware, plus policy, business, science, culture — and carries a developer_relevant flag, so you can keep the engineering stories and drop the front page's politics, science and obituaries, which are about half of a typical day. Built from public Hacker News data. Add ?since=<ISO-8601> to get only the stories that appeared since your last fetch, with the tag counts recomputed over that slice; an empty delta is not charged. Every build carries a `coverage` block stating the window it actually swept, the points threshold it was built with, and whether upstream's page came back full — and `delta_complete_since` is the point back to which a ?since= delta is complete. This is a 24h SKU, so ask for anything older and it is refused for free rather than answered short. The block also says outright what a created_at delta cannot see: the threshold is applied at fetch time, so a story that crosses it days after it was posted arrives with its original timestamp and a delta skips it. That block is on this free listing (info.output.example.coverage) at the current build's own figures, so you can check the bound against your polling interval before you pay for anything.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.
Live 402 challenge
Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.
GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints
This endpoint's own trailing-30-day call count, as published by the upstream catalog and snapshotted daily. 32 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service datastand.dev and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=datastand.dev' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://datastand.dev/api/data/dev-signals, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402, or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
