Douyin Search and Hot List — tool skill for research & trends

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page.

Read-only Douyin data as JSON: keyword search, creator posts and follower stats, comments and the live hot list.

What it does

Four Node.js scripts that query public Douyin data through the third-party Guaikei data API: keyword search (sort by relevance, likes or recency; filter by time, length, video or image post), a creator's posts and follower counts, comments on a video, and the roughly 50-item hot list. Output is one JSON envelope per call with titles, authors, like/comment/share counts, links and dates, up to 10,000 items, and results are also saved to a local logs folder. It does not log in or post. The SKILL.md has strict agent rules: ask for missing keywords or links, never retry after auth errors, never change the query without asking.
