AI agents lack internet data access

High-demand scraping aggregator a solo dev could rebuild, but the value is fragile data access, not the CLI, so monetizing it invites platform bans and legal risk.

✓ 87.7k stars with 7.7k forks (8.8% fork ratio) shows strong intent-to-use and real adoption✓ 5,225 PyPI downloads/month confirms actual usage beyond star inflation✓ MIT license and Python CLI make wrapping into a paid product technically trivial

⚠ Core value depends on scraping Twitter/Reddit/YouTube/XiaoHongShu against ToS — platforms actively block and litigate this, so the moat is legal exposure, not code⚠ Zero HN mentions despite 87k stars suggests hype is concentrated in Chinese-language communities and may not translate to paying Western customers⚠ 174 open issues and a scraper-maintenance treadmill mean constant breakage; a solo dev inherits an unwinnable cat-and-mouse game
