## What this is

`xiaoyuzhou` is a small command-line tool that lets any agent (or human) read a user's Xiaoyuzhou FM podcast data by composing ordinary shell commands — pipe into `jq`, filter by date, project fields, page through history. It prints **JSON to stdout** and uses **exit codes** for success/failure, so an agent never has to parse prose or swallow a 200 KB blob into its context just to get a title.

- 我的订阅 / subscribed podcasts
- 单集列表 / a podcast's episodes — **auto-paginated**, with inclusive `--since` / `--until` date windows
- 单集详情 + shownotes
- 官方字幕 / official transcript (one-shot download + parse, or just the signed URL)
- 搜索播客 / 单集 (search podcasts or episodes)
- 播放历史 / play history

All commands are **read-only by design**. No subscribe / unsubscribe / comment / mark-played — an agent can recommend but never act on the user's behalf without explicit human approval.

> **Why a CLI and not an MCP server?** This started life as an MCP server. For a browse/filter/paginate read tool, a CLI turned out to be the more agent-friendly surface: it composes with `jq`/`grep`/`head`, lets the caller pull *only* the fields it needs (no fixed fat payload, no token-limit cliff), and pages through history natively. The auth/self-heal core (`xiaoyuzhou/client.py`) is unchanged — only the surface is.

## When to use this

Whenever the user mentions any of these (Chinese or English):

- 小宇宙 / 小宇宙 FM / 小宇宙播客 / Xiaoyuzhou / Xiaoyuzhoufm
- 我的播客订阅 / 订阅了什么播客 / podcast subscriptions
- 某天/最近更新了哪些播客 / 新单集 / new episodes on a date
- 播客字幕 / 播客转文字 / podcast transcript
- 搜播客 / 找播客 / search podcast/episode
- 我最近听了什么 / 播放历史 / play history

For **Apple Podcasts / Spotify / generic podcasts**, this is NOT the right tool — it only talks to Xiaoyuzhou.

## Commands

```
xyz subs                                   # your subscribed podcasts
xyz episodes  [--limit N]             # newest N episodes (auto-paginated)
xyz episodes  --since 2026-05-28 --until 2026-05-29   # full date window
xyz episode                           # one episode's detail
xyz transcript  --media-id  [--format plain|timestamped|segments] [--text]
xyz transcript-url  --media-id   # signed URL only, no download
xyz search "关键词" [--kind PODCAST|EPISODE] [--limit N]
xyz history [--limit N]
xyz send-code                       # SMS login, step 1
xyz login                     # SMS login, step 2 (saves token)
```

Shared output flags on list/detail commands:

- `--jsonl` — one JSON object per line (ideal for `| jq` / `| grep`)
- `--full` — keep `shownotes_html` (dropped by default to stay lean)
- `--fields a,b,c` — project to just those keys

### Why the date window matters

The upstream `/v1/episode/list` caps each page at ~15 episodes and exposes a `loadMoreKey` cursor. `xyz episodes` follows that cursor automatically: with `--since` it keeps paging back until the window is fully covered — so a high-frequency feed that posts several episodes a day is never silently truncated at 15.

```bash
# Which of my subscriptions updated on 2026-05-28? (title + podcast only)
for pid in $(xyz subs --fields pid --jsonl | jq -r .pid); do
  xyz episodes "$pid" --since 2026-05-28 --until 2026-05-28 \
      --jsonl --fields podcast_title,title
done
```

## Quick start

```bash
git clone https://github.com/r266-tech/xiaoyuzhou.git
cd xiaoyuzhou
pip install -e .          # installs the `xyz` / `xiaoyuzhou` commands
# …or run without installing:  ./run subs
```

### Login (one time, SMS)

```bash
xyz send-code 13800138000
xyz login 13800138000 123456
# or the interactive helper:  python scripts/login.py --phone 13800138000
```

Token is stored at `~/cc-workspace/state/xiaoyuzhou/token.json` (`chmod 0600`). Override with `XIAOYUZHOU_STATE_DIR` if you don't use the `cc-workspace` convention. The token is **never** part of the repo (`.gitignore` excludes `state/` and `token.json`).

### Verify

```bash
xyz subs                  # should list your podcasts
python scripts/verify.py  # direct client smoke test
```

## Design notes

- **Composable surface**: JSON to stdout, exit codes for success/failure, `--fields`/`--jsonl` so callers pull only what they need. No fat fixed payloads.
- **Real pagination**: `list_episodes` follows `loadMoreKey` (safety ceiling 100 pages); `--since` controls how far back to go.
- **Agent-first schemas**: shallow dicts, snake_case, ISO 8601 timestamps — no `{data:{data:[...]}}` wrappers.
- **Transparent auth**: on 401 the client refreshes once and retries; callers never see auth state. 4xx during refresh clears the token (re-login needed); network errors leave state alone.
- **Atomic token writes**: `fcntl.flock` + uuid'd `.tmp` + `os.replace`; dir `0o700`, file `0o600`.
- **Distributable**: no hardcoded `/Users/...` paths, no homebrew assumptions; Intel Mac, Apple Silicon, Linux. Relocate state via `$XIAOYUZHOU_STATE_DIR` / `$BABATA_STATE_DIR`.
- **Read-only on purpose**: write endpoints exist upstream but are deliberately not exposed.

## Gotchas

- **Date windows are Beijing-local (UTC+8)** — the API's `pubDate` is UTC, but the app (and any human) means Beijing days. `--since/--until` convert before comparing, so an episode posted 00:00–08:00 Beijing lands on the right day instead of the previous UTC day.
- **RSS-bridged shows still have transcripts** — for podcasts syndicated from external hosts (e.g. Ximalaya), `media.id` is the external playback URL and asking the transcript API about it returns `no_subtitle`. Xiaoyuzhou mirrors the audio and serves the transcript under the episode's native `transcriptMediaId`; the client's `media_id` prefers it automatically (identical to `media.id` for native shows).
- **Android UA is required** — the transcript CDN validates User-Agent strictly; `_app_headers()` already uses the correct Xiaomi MI 6 / Android 28 UA.
- **`get_episode` is GET + query string**; other authenticated endpoints are POST + JSON body (mirrors the app).
- **`history` has no precise played-seconds** — upstream only exposes `is_played` / `is_finished`.

## Acknowledgments

Endpoint surface was originally mapped against the unofficial Go client [MosesHe/xiaoyuzhoufm-mcp](https://github.com/MosesHe/xiaoyuzhoufm-mcp) and the [xyz-dl](https://github.com/xyz-dl) project — thanks to both.
