## What it does

A short guide, with no scripts, for light analysis of public Douyin pages: summarising videos for a keyword or hashtag, comparing a creator's recent 7/30-day performance, and breaking down the trending list by category. It lists the entry URLs (home, discover, search) and the fields to extract (video id, title, author, hashtags, like/comment/favourite/share counts, publish time, cover URL). It warns that Douyin's anti-bot checks are strict and suggests a person opens the page before extraction; the agent needs its own browser access to do any of this.

## Use when

- You want a summary of how videos on a Douyin topic or keyword are performing
- You want to compare a Douyin creator's recent videos
- You want to see which categories dominate Douyin's trending list

## Not for

- Downloading videos, removing watermarks or calling Douyin's private APIs (the skill rules these out)
- Bulk scraping or commercial redistribution of the data

## Install

- OpenClaw: `npx clawhub@latest install douyin-trends`
