SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires httpx, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Gathering public trend signals from communities, social media, news hotspots, and developer ecosystems usually requires juggling multiple platforms and paid APIs. This Skill aggregates free, registration-free public data sources into standardized JSON results so an agent can research hotspots without API keys or tokens.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source hotspot search: Query GitHub public repositories and issues, Stack Exchange questions, Hacker News hot lists, and Wikimedia pageview trends through CLI scripts returning standard JSON.
  • Chinese trend monitoring: Use browser-based access to Baidu Index and Weibo hot search for Chinese-language search trends, regional interest, and brand sentiment, limited to free publicly visible content.
  • Compliance guardrails: Built-in filters reject cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 related queries and strip crypto-related items from results.
  • Use Case: A product researcher asks which open-source agent frameworks are gaining traction; the agent runs the GitHub public search script sorted by stars, cross-checks Hacker News discussions, and validates public attention with Wikimedia pageviews.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to search GitHub public repositories and Hacker News for current discussion hotspots about LLM agents and summarize the top results with source links.

Frequently Asked Questions about sn-search-social-media

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search GitHub repositories without an API key?▼

Run the github_public_search.py script with a query, a result limit, and optional sort fields like stars or comments. It calls the public GitHub search API for repositories and issues without tokens, but code search is not supported.

How to track public attention trends for a topic?▼

Use the wikimedia_pageviews.py script in article mode with a page title and date range to get daily view counts, or top mode to list the most-viewed Wikipedia pages on a given date. For Chinese trends, open Baidu Index in a browser and record only free visible data.

Can this skill search cryptocurrency or blockchain trends?▼

No. All scripts reject cryptocurrency, blockchain, Web3, NFT, and DeFi related queries through a shared filter, and crypto-related items are removed from results. The skill explicitly declines such requests instead of running searches.

Does Hacker News search support keyword queries?▼

The official Hacker News Firebase API has no server-side search, so the script fetches a hot list and filters items locally by keyword. If results are sparse, increase the --scan parameter to examine more entries.

What dependencies are required to run the search scripts?▼

Only the Python package httpx is required, installed via pip from the skill's requirements.txt. The Wikimedia script uses the standard library urllib, and no API keys, tokens, or cookies are needed for any source.
