## What it does

Runs a bundled Node script (`node scripts/douyin.js hot [N]`) that pulls the Douyin hot-search list, 50 entries by default. Each entry has rank, title, heat value, a Douyin search link, cover image URL when present, label and content type (video, music, challenge). Data comes from an unofficial Douyin web endpoint, so the format can change and frequent calls may trigger rate limiting.

- You are picking a trending topic for a short video
