topics = analyzer.fetch_topics(
    platform='weibo',
    start_date='2026-05-01',
    end_date='2026-05-20'
)

# Topic clustering
clusters = analyzer.cluster_topics(topics, n_clusters=5)

# Sentiment analysis
for topic in topics:
    sentiment = analyzer.analyze_sentiment(topic['title'], topic['content'])
    print(f"{topic['title']}: {sentiment}")

# Generate report
report = analyzer.generate_report(
    query="人工智能与前沿科技",
    platforms=['weibo', 'bilibili', 'zhihu'],
    days=7
)
print(report)

Custom LLM Integration

# Using Huawei Pangu Model (local deployment)

app = FastAPI()
app.include_router(router)

# Example API calls
import httpx

# Query hot searches
response = httpx.get('http://localhost:8000/api/hot-search', params={
    'platform': 'weibo',
    'limit': 20
})

# Search by keyword
response = httpx.post('http://localhost:8000/api/search', json={
    'keyword': '人工智能',
    'platforms': ['weibo', 'zhihu'],
    'days': 7
})

# Start crawler
response = httpx.post('http://localhost:8000/api/crawler/start', json={
    'platforms': ['weibo', 'bilibili']
})

# Stop crawler
response = httpx.post('http://localhost:8000/api/crawler/stop')

Push Notification System

# test_push_task.py
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.push import PushManager

manager = PushManager()

# Configure push task
task = {
    'name': 'AI Tech Monitor',
    'query': '人工智能',
    'platforms': ['weibo', 'zhihu', 'bilibili'],
    'schedule': '0 9,18 * * *',  # Cron format: 9 AM and 6 PM daily
    'channels': ['wechat_work', 'telegram', 'email'],
    'min_heat': 100000  # Minimum heat value threshold
}

manager.create_task(task)

# Test push manually
report = """

manager.send_wechat_work(report)

# Send to Telegram
manager.send_telegram(report)

# Send email
manager.send_email(
    subject="AI Technology Hot Topics - 2026-05-20",
    content=report
)

Push Channel Configuration

# WeChat Work Bot (Group Webhook)
import requests

def send_wechat_work_bot(content):
    webhook = os.getenv('WECHAT_WORK_BOT_WEBHOOK')
    data = {
        "msgtype": "markdown",
        "markdown": {
            "content": content
        }
    }
    requests.post(webhook, json=data)

# Telegram Bot
from telegram import Bot

def send_telegram(content):
    bot = Bot(token=os.getenv('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN'))
    chat_id = os.getenv('TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID')
    bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text=content, parse_mode='Markdown')

# Email via SMTP
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

def send_email(subject, content):
    msg = MIMEText(content, 'html', 'utf-8')
    msg['Subject'] = subject
    msg['From'] = os.getenv('SMTP_USER')
    msg['To'] = os.getenv('SMTP_RECIPIENTS')
    
    with smtplib.SMTP(os.getenv('SMTP_HOST'), int(os.getenv('SMTP_PORT'))) as server:
        server.starttls()
        server.login(os.getenv('SMTP_USER'), os.getenv('SMTP_PASSWORD'))

Common Usage Patterns

Pattern 1: Daily Hot Topic Monitoring

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.analyzer import HotSearchAnalyzer
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.push import PushManager

analyzer = HotSearchAnalyzer()
push_manager = PushManager()

# Get yesterday's hot topics
yesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)
topics = analyzer.fetch_topics(
    platforms=['weibo', 'zhihu', 'bilibili'],
    start_date=yesterday.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'),
    heat_threshold=50000
)

# Cluster and analyze
clusters = analyzer.cluster_topics(topics, n_clusters=5)

# Generate report
report = analyzer.generate_report_from_clusters(clusters)

# Push to all channels
push_manager.broadcast(report, channels=['wechat_work', 'telegram', 'email'])

Pattern 2: Keyword Alert System

# Monitor specific keywords and send immediate alerts
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.monitor import KeywordMonitor

monitor = KeywordMonitor(
    keywords=['芯片', 'AI', '大模型', '华为'],
    platforms=['weibo', 'toutiao', 'zhihu'],
    check_interval=300  # Check every 5 minutes
)

def on_match(topic):
    """Callback when keyword is matched"""
    alert = f"""
    🔔 Keyword Alert: {topic['title']}
    Platform: {topic['platform']}
    Heat: {topic['heat_value']}
    URL: {topic['url']}
    """
    push_manager.send_telegram(alert)

monitor.start(callback=on_match)

Pattern 3: Deep Content Analysis

# Analyze news detail pages (including video content)
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.content_extractor import ContentExtractor

extractor = ContentExtractor()

# Get detailed content from URL
url = 'https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV13pSoBBEvX/'
content = extractor.extract(url)

print(f"Title: {content['title']}")
print(f"Type: {content['type']}")  # 'video' or 'article'
print(f"Content: {content['text'][:500]}...")  # Extracted transcript/text

# Analyze sentiment
sentiment = analyzer.analyze_sentiment(content['title'], content['text'])
print(f"Sentiment: {sentiment}")

# Extract entities
entities = analyzer.extract_entities(content['text'])
print(f"Entities: {entities}")

Pattern 4: Custom Report Generation

# Generate custom analytical report
report_config = {
    'title': '科技行业周报',
    'query': '人工智能 OR 芯片 OR 量子计算',
    'platforms': ['all'],
    'date_range': 7,
    'sections': [
        'core_findings',  # Key discoveries
        'news_details',   # Detailed news list
        'trend_analysis', # Trend analysis
        'entity_network'  # Entity relationship graph
    ],
    'output_format': 'markdown'
}

report = analyzer.generate_custom_report(**report_config)

# Save to file
with open(f"report_{datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d')}.md", 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    f.write(report)

Troubleshooting

Issue 1: Browser Driver Errors

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH

Solution: Ensure ChromeDriver/EdgeDriver is in system PATH and matches browser version.

# Check driver version
chromedriver --version

# Check Chrome version
google-chrome --version  # Linux
# or open chrome://version in browser

# Download matching version from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/

Issue 2: Database Connection Failures

mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: Access denied for user

Solution: Verify MySQL credentials in .env and ensure user has proper permissions.

-- Grant permissions
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hotsearch_db.* TO 'your_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Issue 3: LLM API Rate Limits

openai.error.RateLimitError: Rate limit exceeded

Solution: Implement request throttling or switch to local model:

import time
from functools import wraps

def rate_limit(calls_per_minute=10):
    min_interval = 60.0 / calls_per_minute
    last_called = [0.0]
    
    def decorator(func):
        @wraps(func)
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            elapsed = time.time() - last_called[0]
            wait_time = min_interval - elapsed
            if wait_time > 0:
                time.sleep(wait_time)
            result = func(*args, **kwargs)
            last_called[0] = time.time()
            return result
        return wrapper
    return decorator

@rate_limit(calls_per_minute=10)
def call_llm(prompt):
    return analyzer.generate(prompt)

Issue 4: Crawler Being Blocked

Solution: Rotate user agents and add delays:

# In hotsearchcrawler/settings.py
DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
    'scrapy.downloadermiddlewares.useragent.UserAgentMiddleware': None,
    'scrapy_user_agents.middlewares.RandomUserAgentMiddleware': 400,
}

DOWNLOAD_DELAY = 3
RANDOMIZE_DOWNLOAD_DELAY = True
CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_PER_DOMAIN = 2

Issue 5: Encoding Issues with Chinese Text

Solution: Ensure UTF-8 encoding throughout:

# Database connection
import mysql.connector

conn = mysql.connector.connect(
    host=os.getenv('MYSQL_HOST'),
    user=os.getenv('MYSQL_USER'),
    password=os.getenv('MYSQL_PASSWORD'),
    database=os.getenv('MYSQL_DATABASE'),
    charset='utf8mb4',
    collation='utf8mb4_unicode_ci'
)

# File operations
with open('report.md', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    f.write(report)

Advanced Configuration

Using Huawei Pangu Model (Local Deployment)

Download and deploy the model:

# Download from https://ai.gitcode.com/ascend-tribe/openpangu-embedded-7b-model
# Start model service
python -m hotsearch_analysis_agent.llm.pangu_server --model_path /path/to/model --port 8080

Configure in code:

from hotsearch_analysis_agent.llm import PanguLLM

analyzer = HotSearchAnalyzer(
    llm=PanguLLM(api_url='http://localhost:8080')
)

Distributed Crawling

Scale up with multiple crawler instances:

# Instance 1: Weibo, Zhihu
python run_spiders.py --platforms weibo,zhihu

# Instance 2: Bilibili, Douyin
python run_spiders.py --platforms bilibili,douyin

# Instance 3: News platforms
python run_spiders.py --platforms baidu,toutiao
