Last30days

What Is This

The Last30days skill is a powerful research tool available on the Happycapy Skills platform. It enables users to query and aggregate trending discussions, posts, and videos related to any topic from four major online communities: Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and Hacker News. The search scope is strictly limited to the past 30 days, ensuring that the information returned is recent and relevant. By leveraging public APIs and scraping mechanisms where necessary, Last30days provides a unified interface to surface topical insights, news, or technical discussions across these disparate platforms.

This skill is particularly useful for developers, researchers, or anyone who needs to monitor the latest conversations, libraries, frameworks, or events in the tech ecosystem. The source code and implementation details are available at the skill’s GitHub repository.

Why Use It

Staying current with trends and conversations across multiple major platforms is essential, especially in the tech and development sectors. However, manually searching each site for the latest discussions, news, or tutorials can be time-consuming and inefficient. The Last30days skill addresses this challenge by:

• Aggregating content from multiple sources: Instead of switching between Reddit, X, YouTube, and Hacker News, users receive a consolidated summary of the latest activity related to their search term.
• Filtering by recency: Only content from the last 30 days is retrieved, helping users avoid outdated information or discussions.
• Supporting a wide range of topics: From programming languages to industry news, Last30days adapts to virtually any query, making it a versatile research companion.
• Reducing noise: By focusing on recent and relevant content, this skill helps users quickly identify trends, popular tools, or emerging issues in the community.

How to Use It

The Last30days skill can be invoked on the Happycapy Skills platform by specifying your topic of interest. The skill accepts a single search query and returns an organized summary of relevant content. Below is a typical usage scenario and a code example for integrating or invoking the skill programmatically.

Usage Example

Suppose you want to research the latest discussions about "TypeScript" across the supported platforms. You would issue a request to the skill with the search term "TypeScript".

Platform Integration

For developers wishing to integrate Last30days into their tools, refer to the official repository for implementation details, available endpoints, and code samples in Python or other supported languages.

When to Use It

The Last30days skill is ideal for a variety of scenarios, such as:

• Technology scouting: Discover the latest libraries, tools, or frameworks gaining traction in the developer community.
• Competitor or product research: Track conversations and feedback related to specific products, services, or companies.
• Content creation: Identify trending topics and frequently asked questions to inform blog posts, videos, or documentation.
• Event monitoring: Stay updated on industry events, conferences, or security incidents as they unfold online.
• Learning and onboarding: Quickly surface current best practices, tutorials, or problem discussions in a specific domain.

Important Notes

• Recency limitation: Only posts, videos, or discussions from the past 30 days are included. For historical research, other tools may be needed.
• API and scraping constraints: The quality and completeness of results depend on the availability and reliability of public APIs or scraping mechanisms for each platform.
• Rate limits and authentication: Some sources, especially X and YouTube, may impose rate limits or require API keys. Refer to the repository documentation for configuration guidance.
• Result filtering: The skill attempts to surface the most relevant and popular items, but manual review is recommended for critical research.
• Privacy and compliance: Always respect the terms of service of each platform when integrating or using aggregated data in production systems.

By leveraging the Last30days skill, developers and researchers can efficiently monitor and analyze the latest trends, discussions, and developments in their field across multiple major online platforms.
