Core API Usage
Conversational Query Interface
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.agent import OpinionAnalysisAgent
# Initialize agent
agent = OpinionAnalysisAgent(
api_key=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
base_url=os.getenv('OPENAI_BASE_URL'),
model=os.getenv('OPENAI_MODEL', 'gpt-4')
)
# Query hot searches
response = agent.query("Show me top trending topics about AI")
print(response['analysis'])
# Topic clustering
clusters = agent.cluster_topics("人工智能", days=7)
for cluster in clusters:
print(f"Cluster: {cluster['theme']}")
print(f"Articles: {len(cluster['articles'])}")
print(f"Sentiment: {cluster['sentiment']}")
# Sentiment analysis
sentiment = agent.analyze_sentiment("特定主题关键词", platform="weibo")
print(f"Positive: {sentiment['positive']}%")
print(f"Negative: {sentiment['negative']}%")
print(f"Neutral: {sentiment['neutral']}%")
Direct Database Access
import mysql.connector
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
host=os.getenv('MYSQL_HOST'),
user=os.getenv('MYSQL_USER'),
password=os.getenv('MYSQL_PASSWORD'),
database=os.getenv('MYSQL_DATABASE')
)
cursor = conn.cursor(dictionary=True)
# Get recent hot searches
cursor.execute("""
SELECT platform, title, heat_value, url, timestamp
FROM hot_searches
WHERE timestamp >= %s
ORDER BY rank ASC
LIMIT 50
""", (datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=24),))
hot_topics = cursor.fetchall()
for topic in hot_topics:
print(f"[{topic['platform']}] {topic['title']} - {topic['heat_value']}")
Setting Up Push Notifications
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.push_service import PushService
# Initialize push service
push_service = PushService()
# Create push task
task_config = {
'name': 'AI Tech Trending Monitor',
'keywords': ['人工智能', '大模型', 'AI技术'],
'platforms': ['weibo', 'bilibili', 'zhihu'],
'schedule': '0 9,18 * * *', # Twice daily at 9 AM and 6 PM
'channels': ['email', 'wechat_work', 'telegram'],
'analysis_depth': 'detailed', # 'summary' or 'detailed'
'min_heat_threshold': 100000
}
push_service.create_task(task_config)
# Test push notification
push_service.test_push(
channel='email',
subject='Test: AI Trending Report',
content='This is a test notification.'
)
Crawler Management
from hotsearchcrawler.crawler_manager import CrawlerManager
manager = CrawlerManager()
# Start all crawlers
manager.start_all()
# Start specific platform
manager.start_spider('weibo_spider')
# Stop all crawlers
manager.stop_all()
# Get crawler status
status = manager.get_status()
print(f"Active crawlers: {status['active']}")
print(f"Items scraped: {status['items_count']}")
Common Patterns
Pattern 1: Daily Hot Topic Report
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.report_generator import ReportGenerator
from datetime import datetime
generator = ReportGenerator()
# Generate daily report
report = generator.generate_daily_report(
date=datetime.now(),
topics=['科技', '财经', '国际'],
include_sentiment=True,
include_clustering=True,
output_format='markdown'
)
# Save report
with open(f"report_{datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d')}.md", 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
f.write(report)
# Auto-push report
generator.push_report(report, channels=['email', 'wechat_work'])
Pattern 2: Real-Time Keyword Monitoring
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.monitor import KeywordMonitor
import time
monitor = KeywordMonitor()
# Define alert keywords
critical_keywords = ['安全事故', '数据泄露', '产品召回']
monitor.add_keywords(critical_keywords)
# Start monitoring
while True:
alerts = monitor.check_new_mentions()
for alert in alerts:
print(f"ALERT: {alert['keyword']} mentioned in {alert['platform']}")
print(f"Title: {alert['title']}")
print(f"Heat: {alert['heat_value']}")
print(f"URL: {alert['url']}")
# Immediate push notification
monitor.push_alert(alert, priority='high')
time.sleep(300) # Check every 5 minutes
Pattern 3: Multi-Platform Topic Correlation
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.correlator import TopicCorrelator
correlator = TopicCorrelator()
# Find correlated topics across platforms
topic_keyword = "芯片技术"
correlation = correlator.find_cross_platform_correlation(
keyword=topic_keyword,
platforms=['weibo', 'zhihu', 'toutiao', 'bilibili'],
time_window_hours=48
)
print(f"Topic: {topic_keyword}")
print(f"Total mentions: {correlation['total_mentions']}")
print(f"Platform distribution: {correlation['platform_dist']}")
print(f"Peak time: {correlation['peak_timestamp']}")
print(f"Related topics: {', '.join(correlation['related_topics'])}")
Pattern 4: Sentiment Trend Analysis
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.sentiment_tracker import SentimentTracker
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
tracker = SentimentTracker()
# Track sentiment over time
sentiment_history = tracker.track_sentiment(
keyword="新能源汽车",
days=30,
platforms=['weibo', 'zhihu']
)
# Visualize trend
dates = [s['date'] for s in sentiment_history]
positive = [s['positive'] for s in sentiment_history]
negative = [s['negative'] for s in sentiment_history]
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
plt.plot(dates, positive, label='Positive', color='green')
plt.plot(dates, negative, label='Negative', color='red')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Sentiment Score (%)')
plt.title('Sentiment Trend: 新能源汽车')
plt.legend()
plt.savefig('sentiment_trend.png')

Troubleshooting
Browser Driver Issues
Error: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH
Solution:
# Verify driver location
which chromedriver # Linux/macOS
where chromedriver # Windows
# Add to PATH if missing
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/driver/directory # Linux/macOS
# Or specify driver path in code
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
Database Connection Errors
Error: mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: Access denied for user
Solution:
-- Grant proper privileges
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hotsearch_db.* TO 'your_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Crawler Not Collecting Data
Diagnostics:
# Check crawler logs
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
# Verify platform accessibility
import requests
response = requests.get('https://weibo.com/hot/search')
print(f"Status: {response.status_code}")
# Test individual spider
cd hotsearchcrawler
scrapy crawl weibo_spider -L DEBUG
LLM Analysis Returning Empty Results
Check:
- API key validity and rate limits
- Network connectivity to LLM endpoint
- Input text encoding (must be UTF-8)
# Debug LLM connection
import openai
openai.api_key = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')
openai.api_base = os.getenv('OPENAI_BASE_URL')
try:
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model="gpt-4",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Test"}]
)
print("✓ LLM connection successful")
except Exception as e:
print(f"✗ LLM error: {e}")
Push Notifications Not Sending
Email (SMTP):
# Test SMTP connection
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
try:
server = smtplib.SMTP(os.getenv('SMTP_HOST'), int(os.getenv('SMTP_PORT')))
server.starttls()
server.login(os.getenv('SMTP_USER'), os.getenv('SMTP_PASSWORD'))
print("✓ SMTP connection successful")
server.quit()
except Exception as e:
print(f"✗ SMTP error: {e}")
WeChat Work:
# Test webhook
import requests
import json
webhook_url = os.getenv('WECHAT_WORK_WEBHOOK')
data = {
"msgtype": "text",
"text": {"content": "Test notification"}
}
response = requests.post(webhook_url, json=data)
print(f"Response: {response.json()}")
Advanced Configuration
Custom LLM Model (Huawei Pangu)
# hotsearch_analysis_agent/llm_config.py
from pangu_client import PanguClient
client = PanguClient(
api_key=os.getenv('PANGU_API_KEY'),
endpoint=os.getenv('PANGU_BASE_URL')
)
def analyze_with_pangu(text, task='sentiment'):
response = client.complete(
prompt=f"分析以下文本的{task}:\n{text}",
max_tokens=2000,
temperature=0.7
)
return response['text']
Adding New Platform Crawlers
# hotsearchcrawler/spiders/custom_spider.py
import scrapy
from hotsearchcrawler.items import HotSearchItem
class CustomPlatformSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'custom_spider'
start_urls = ['https://example.com/trending']
def parse(self, response):
for item in response.css('.trending-item'):
yield HotSearchItem(
platform='custom_platform',
title=item.css('.title::text').get(),
url=item.css('a::attr(href)').get(),
rank=item.css('.rank::text').get(),
heat_value=item.css('.heat::text').get(),
timestamp=datetime.now()
)
Custom Analysis Pipelines
# hotsearch_analysis_agent/custom_analyzer.py
from hotsearch_analysis_agent.base_analyzer import BaseAnalyzer
class IndustrySpecificAnalyzer(BaseAnalyzer):
def __init__(self, industry_keywords):
super().__init__()
self.industry_keywords = industry_keywords
def filter_relevant_topics(self, topics):
return [
t for t in topics
if any(kw in t['title'] for kw in self.industry_keywords)
]
def generate_industry_report(self, topics):
relevant = self.filter_relevant_topics(topics)
sentiment = self.batch_sentiment_analysis(relevant)
clusters = self.cluster_by_subtopic(relevant)
