There are several compelling reasons to use the last30days skill:

• Recency: Ensures all findings are from the past month, capturing the latest conversations, developments, and trends.
• Multi-source Coverage: Draws from social media, web platforms, and specialized communities, providing a holistic perspective.
• AI Synthesis: Utilizes artificial intelligence to distill large volumes of data into clear, actionable reports, reducing noise and highlighting key insights.
• Citations Included: Provides traceable sources, allowing users to verify findings or dive deeper into specific points.
• Versatility: Suitable for a range of applications such as news curation, competitive intelligence, project management research, and more.

These features make the skill an invaluable asset for anyone requiring up-to-date information that spans the rapidly evolving landscape of online content.

How to Use It

The last30days skill can be invoked directly on the Happycapy Skills platform and supports a straightforward argument syntax for topic queries. Here is a step-by-step guide for technical users:

1. Prerequisites

• API Key Requirement: The skill requires a SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY to function. Optional API keys (e.g., for OpenAI, XAI, or Brave) can enhance coverage or performance but are not mandatory.
• Supported Tools: The skill can leverage Bash, Read, Write, AskUserQuestion, and WebSearch utilities within the platform.

2. Basic

Usage

When invoking the skill, you specify a query using the argument-hint format. For example, to research the best project management tools discussed online in the last month, use:

last30 best project management tools

Or, for an overview of recent AI video tools:

last30 AI video tools

The skill will then search across supported platforms, aggregate recent discussions, reviews, and news, and output a synthesized report with citations.

3. Code Example for

Integration

If you are integrating the skill into an automated workflow or script, a typical invocation might look like this in Bash (assuming environment variables and CLI wrappers are configured):

export SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
happycapy invoke last30days "last30 AI video tools"

You can also specify other environment variables if you want to enhance the search, such as:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
export XAI_API_KEY=your_xai_api_key
happycapy invoke last30days "last30 best project management tools"

4. Sample

Output

The skill returns a structured report. For example:

Topic: Best Project Management Tools (Last 30 Days)
1. Tool A - Highly recommended in Reddit's r/Productivity [link]
2. Tool B - Trending on Twitter with positive user feedback [link]
...
Summary: Tool A and Tool B have received the most attention and favorable reviews in the past month.

Each result is backed by a citation, ensuring transparency and verifiability.

When to Use It

The last30days skill is especially useful when you need:

• The most current information or trends on a fast-moving topic
• Aggregated insights from multiple platforms, rather than a single-source perspective
• Cited, verifiable research for reporting, content creation, or decision-making

Common scenarios include preparing for meetings, writing timely articles, conducting competitor analysis, or validating market shifts.

Important Notes

• API Key Management: You must supply a valid SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY for the skill to function. Additional keys can improve performance but are not required.
• Source Limitations: While the skill covers a wide range of sources, access to some platforms may depend on the availability and permissions of supplemental API keys.
• Recency Constraint: All outputs are limited to the last 30 days by design. For historical research, alternative tools are recommended.
• Licensing and Open Source: The skill is MIT licensed, and source code and documentation are available at the GitHub repository.

By automating recency-focused, multi-source research, last30days v2.9.5 helps technical users and content creators stay informed and competitive in a landscape where timely information is critical.
