About this skill

Problem

When tracking Toutiao hot topics for sentiment observation, news aggregation, or editorial planning, copying headlines from the website is brittle. This skill wraps the public hot-board endpoint into a repeatable tool: it fetches the current top 10 items and returns structured news fields, reducing manual cleanup and formatting.

How it works

Calls GET https://www.toutiao.com/hot-event/hot-board/?origin=toutiao_pc without an API Key.
Parses the JSON response and extracts Title, HotValue, Category, Label, and Url.
Cleans URLs with regex to remove redundant parameters while keeping usable links.
Outputs plain text, Markdown tables, or JSON for scripts, notes, and briefings.

Boundaries

It fits personal study, data analysis, and lightweight trend monitoring. The hot list refreshes roughly every 5-10 minutes, so results vary. Requests need access to toutiao.com; keep intervals of at least one minute to reduce anti-scraping risk. The default returns 10 items; the script limit can be adjusted up to 50. Use it for non-commercial purposes only.
