ZAKER 24-Hour Hot Headlines

Problem It Solves

When users ask for today's top news, a generic answer can mix in stale or low-quality aggregation. zaker-hot-news targets this concrete need: it pulls the latest headlines from the ZAKER API and returns clickable titles, summaries, and authors, useful for quickly building a same-day overview during short breaks.

How It Works

The core tool is get_hot_articles, which calls https://skills.myzaker.com/api/v1/article/hot?v=1.0.3 without an API key. The feed updates roughly every 30 minutes and returns the latest 20 items, ordered by publish time in descending order. A typical flow includes:
- Detecting intent keywords such as “news,” “headlines,” “latest,” and “trending”;
- Calling the endpoint and checking stat, msg, and data.list;
- Parsing title, summary, author, publish_time, and url;
- Rendering a Markdown list with linked titles and summaries.

Boundaries

This skill is best for ZAKER-sourced hot headlines, not for deep reporting, vertical research, or real-time breaking-news streams. For company-specific, paper, local, or historical lookups, use a more specific source; the fixed result size means it should not be treated as a paginated or arbitrary date-range query.
