What it does
One command, agent-reach, fetches content from many platforms in read-only mode.
- Search, read post bodies, fetch comments, pull YouTube captions/transcripts, check stock quotes, read job listings
- Paste a link and
agent-reach read <url>picks the right channel automatically - Returns single-line JSON (
items[].title/url/author/published_at/text), with a full error-code playbook forNEED_LOGIN,RATE_LIMITED,PLATFORM_BLOCKED,TIMEOUT, and more - Clear routing rules: use the agent's built-in search/fetch tools first, let Reach fill only the gaps
- Hard limits: no posting, commenting, liking, or DMs; never asks for passwords or logs in on your behalf
Who it's for
- Marketers and content researchers who mine social platforms and forums
- Anyone who needs video transcripts for summarizing or translating
- Teams that must also cover Chinese platforms (Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, V2EX, Xueqiu, Boss Zhipin)
- People frustrated that plain web search can't retrieve full article bodies
Examples
- "Read this Xiaohongshu link and summarize the comment sentiment" →
agent-reach read <url>, reporting body and comments separately - "Grab the captions for this YouTube video and give me 5 bullets" → fetches actual subtitle text, not just the track list
- "Search Xiaohongshu for 'coffee', 5 results" →
agent-reach xiaohongshu search "咖啡" --limit 5 - "Which channels are working right now?" →
agent-reach doctor --text
