Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tikhub-onboarding scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TikHub — Onboarding & Routing

TikHub is a unified API for social-media data across 16+ platforms (TikTok, Douyin, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, Threads, Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Bilibili, Reddit, LinkedIn, and more): download media, fetch posts/profiles/comments, search, trends, and analytics.

Read this once, get the user set up, then hand off to the skill that owns the task.

Step 1 — Get an API key (one time)

Send the user to https://user.tikhub.io: register (email verification), open the API Keys page, and create a key. Pricing is per-endpoint, credit-based.

Step 2 — Set the key in the environment

Every path reads TIKHUB_API_KEY from the environment:

export TIKHUB_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
# persist it: add the line to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

Step 3 — Pick a path and hand off

If the user wants… Path Hand off to
Claude to call TikHub directly as tools (default) Hosted MCP tikhub-mcp
To script/curl it, CI, or no Python/Node REST API tikhub-rest-api
To build an app or pipeline in Python Python SDK tikhub-python-sdk
To find which endpoint does X (1,100+ exist) Discovery tikhub-endpoint-discovery
A finished outcome (download, analyze a creator, trends, listening…) Task skill social-media-downloader, creator-analytics, trend-research, social-listening, competitor-analysis, hashtag-research, comments-analysis, bulk-data-export
Deep work on one platform Platform skill tiktok, douyin, instagram, youtube, twitter-threads, xiaohongshu

Setup gate (run before any TikHub call)

if [ -z "${TIKHUB_API_KEY:-}" ]; then
  echo "TIKHUB_API_KEY is not set — get a key at https://user.tikhub.io then: export TIKHUB_API_KEY=..."
fi

If unset, halt and walk the user through Steps 1–2 before proceeding.

Red flags

  • Calling endpoints before TIKHUB_API_KEY is set (every call 401s).
  • Forgetting that calls cost credits — warn before large/bulk pulls.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
