Terms of Use
StarHOT gathers public sources from around the world and uses models to write summaries and picks. Original articles belong to their publishers. The website, RSS, public API and MCP can all be used anonymously.

1. Content and copyright
Titles, summaries and reasons for picks are generated by models from public sources and can be wrong; check the original for anything important. Original articles remain the property of their publishers. We show full text only where the source allows it; otherwise we show a summary and a link to the original.
2. Corrections and removals for publishers
If you publish one of our sources and want something corrected, removed or shown differently, contact us through the feedback page and we will act promptly.
3. Using our data
You are welcome to use StarHOT for personal reading, study and research, and inside your organisation. Before using it in a commercial product, republishing it publicly or redistributing it in bulk, ask for our permission through the feedback page, and credit us with a link to the original.
4. Interfaces and rate limits
RSS, the public API and MCP are anonymous, read-only interfaces. Poll according to the cache times in the responses, honour Retry-After when you get a 429, and do not retry in parallel.
5. Disclaimer
StarHOT is provided as is, with no guarantee that content is complete, accurate or always available.
