Good to know

• 100 articles per keyword at most. Without a Sogou login, Sogou shows 10 pages per search and then asks visitors to log in. Results are ranked by Sogou's relevance, not by date. For wider coverage use several narrower keywords ("特斯拉 降价", "特斯拉 Model Y").
• Duplicates removed: Sogou sometimes repeats an article on two pages, so a keyword can give a few under 100.
• No full article text, read counts or likes. The Actor reads Sogou's search pages only. WeChat's read and like counts are not public there.
• Links: sogouLink is Sogou's own link, meant for opening in a browser. It carries a search token and may stop working after a while; title, account and publish time identify the article for good.
• Anti-robot check: requests are spaced 3 seconds apart. If Sogou ever shows its anti-robot check, the run stops reading, keeps what it has and says so in the run summary. It does not try to get past the check.
• Account names are the public names of Official Accounts, as Sogou shows them.
