Read one public Xiaohongshu, Douyin, TikTok, YouTube, X or WeChat article link into text an agent can use (transcript, image text, key points) via the LinkDigest API or MCP server.
When to use
- Use when the user pastes a Xiaohongshu / RedNote (`xiaohongshu.com`, `xhslink.com`, `rednote.com`), Douyin (`douyin.com`, `v.douyin.com`), TikTok, YouTube, X or WeChat 公众号 (`mp.weixin.qq.com`) link and asks what it says, wants a summary, a…
- Use when you already tried to fetch such a link and got an app shell, a login wall, or a page with a title and no body.
- Use when the content of a post is inside the images (Xiaohongshu image notes, WeChat long images) or inside the speech (Douyin, TikTok, YouTube) and you need it as text.
- Use when the user wants to learn how a post is built (optional breakdown: hook, timed beats, title formula, call to action, reusable template).
When not to use
- Reads one public post per call. It does not search a platform, read comments or profiles, list a creator's posts, download media, post, like or log in.
- Bilibili is not supported. Instagram and Facebook are not supported.
- Private, deleted, login-only or live content cannot be read (HTTP 422, no charge).
- The speech transcript comes back in segments of roughly 170 seconds of audio, not per sentence. The on-screen text carries second-level times; the transcript does not. It is not suitable for generating SRT subtitles.
- Speech recognition can mishear words. Published captions and image text are exact; ASR and model-written transcripts are not. Numbers heard in speech should be checked before being repeated as fact.
- Timing: a cached link returns in about a second; a Xiaohongshu note with images takes 1 to 2 minutes; a YouTube video with captions about 2.5 minutes. TikTok rate-limits under load.
- The hosted service behind the API is operated by LinkDigest and is not open source; the SDK, CLI, stdio MCP server and skills are MIT. Media is never stored by the service; only the text digest is kept.
- This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
