Tips & Limitations

• Manual Triggering: Due to Toutiao's dynamic rendering and anti-scraping measures, the skill performs best when the browser is already open or triggered by a user-initiated request to ensure stable parsing.
• Ethical Usage: This skill is strictly intended for individual information gathering and lightweight analysis. Do not use it for large-scale data harvesting or scraping operations that violate Toutiao’s terms of service.
• No Downloads: This skill is built for metadata analysis. It does not provide functionality for video downloads or watermark removal.
• Rate Limiting: Always implement reasonable request frequencies to avoid being flagged by the platform's security mechanisms. Ensure you respect privacy and platform copyright guidelines at all times.
