What is Hotspots Consumer?
The Hotspots consumer skill is a specialized tool for AI agents to pull real-time data from a central hotspot API. It focuses on providing a curated view of trending content by bypassing raw heat metrics in favor of AI-predicted click-through rates. This ensures that users receive the most relevant and engaging news headlines from sources like Weibo, Zhihu, and news broadcasts. By integrating with Openclaw Skills, this tool provides a structured and automated way to stay informed without manual searching.
Built for reliability, the skill enforces strict API calling rules, ensuring that users always receive the most up-to-date information without relying on outdated caches. It maintains a clean, read-only operation by default, prioritizing user privacy and system stability.
Hotspots Consumer Use Cases
- Monitoring daily trending topics across major platforms like Weibo and Zhihu.
- Generating automated morning news briefings via scheduled tasks.
- Researching high-engagement content for digital marketing analysis.
- Checking the real-time status and availability of the Hotspot API service.
How Hotspots Consumer Works
- The agent generates a precise minute-level timestamp to ensure data freshness and avoid caching issues.
- It executes a GET request to the hotspot API using the web_fetch tool to retrieve raw JSON data.
- The system parses the JSON array and flattens items from all available source blocks.
- An internal model estimates the click-through rate (CTR) based on titles and content to re-rank the top 10 items.
- The skill generates concise AI summaries for the top items and groups the remaining headlines by their source name for easy browsing.
Hotspots Consumer Setup
To begin using this skill, ensure your agent has access to the web_fetch tool. For automated updates, you can configure a cron job using the Openclaw Skills CLI:
openclaw cron add \
--name "hotspots-scheduled-shanghai" \
--cron "30 9 * * *" \
--tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
--session isolated \
--agent default \
--announce \
--message "Retrieve latest hotspots via Openclaw Skills and provide AI summaries."
