Natural Language

You don't need exact command syntax. The LLM will map natural requests to the right command:

> "What's trending on TikTok?"

→ yoinkit trending tiktok

> "Pull the transcript from this YouTube video: [url]"

→ yoinkit transcript

> "Find popular Reddit posts about home automation from this week"

→ yoinkit search reddit "home automation" --sort top --time week

> "What has MrBeast posted this week?"

→ yoinkit feed youtube MrBeast

> "Check @garyvee's latest TikToks"

→ yoinkit feed tiktok garyvee

> "Research what creators are doing with AI tools"

→ yoinkit research "AI tools" --platforms youtube,tiktok,reddit

API Base URL

All requests go through your Yoinkit subscription:

https://yoinkit.ai/api/v1/openclaw

Output Formatting

A Yoinkit logo is included at assets/yoinkit-logo.png (200x200, transparent background, gradient icon).

When the platform supports images/media, send the logo alongside the first result in a conversation.

When presenting Yoinkit results to the user:

• Prefix output with 🟣 Yoinkit as a header or label
• Format video/post results as clean cards: title, views/engagement, date, link
• Highlight key metadata (views, likes, publish date) — hide raw JSON noise
• For transcript results, provide a concise summary first, then offer the full transcript if asked
• For trending results, present as a numbered list with platform and engagement stats
• For research results, organize by platform with clear section headers
• Include a subtle footer: Powered by Yoinkit · yoinkit.ai
• When results are empty or a platform isn't supported, suggest alternatives naturally
