What is Tophot: AI Hotspot Consumer?
Tophot is a specialized Openclaw Skills consumer designed to provide immediate access to trending information across various digital landscapes. By interfacing with the api4claw hotspot service, it retrieves live data from platforms like Weibo, Zhihu, and Tencent News, ensuring developers and users stay informed without manual searching.
The skill operates with a stateless, read-only architecture, prioritizing user privacy by avoiding local data persistence or automatic background task creation. It serves as a reliable bridge between raw trending data and structured, human-readable insights, making it an essential tool for social media monitoring and daily news consumption.
Tophot: AI Hotspot Consumer Use Cases
- Staying updated on daily viral trends via Today's Hotspots.
- Monitoring specific social platforms like Weibo or Zhihu for breaking news.
- Automating morning news briefings with scheduled daily updates.
- Checking the service status of hotspot data providers.
- Grouping news headlines by source for a structured reading experience.
How Tophot: AI Hotspot Consumer Works
- The user triggers the skill using keywords such as "Today's Hotspots" or "Weibo Trends".
- The system generates a minute-level TIME_STEMP using the Asia/Shanghai timezone.
- A web_fetch tool call is initiated to the specific platform endpoint at hotspot.api4claw.com.
- The skill receives a raw JSON array containing sources and their respective trending items.
- Data is parsed and grouped by source_name, filtering out unnecessary metadata like fetch timestamps.
- The final structured list of titles and links is presented to the user.

--message "Execute hotspots_tophot skill for daily news"
