Zhihu

简体中文

Use Zhihu as a research source for the model: site search, web search, the hot list, Zhida answers, knowledge bases, question discovery, and creator statistics. Every request uses your own Zhihu Access Secret. Results are reference material, not conclusions.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add @klarkxy/dsh-zhihu

Replace web with your profile name and restart DSH Web. Use the full scoped name; the unscoped dsh-zhihu belongs to someone else.

Use

Open Plugins → Zhihu and enter your Access Secret under Settings. The other tabs are:

• Stats: local daily calls, failures, and results;
• Official quota: your remaining free allowance as reported by Zhihu;
• Knowledge base: upload and search reference files;
• Test: run any search or query by hand.

With the Web Search plugin installed, Zhihu web search also appears in its provider list.

Give the tools to the model

Add this to the plugin list of the agent.cordis.yml you use:

- name: '@klarkxy/dsh-zhihu/tools'

The model then gets these tools:

Tool	Purpose
zhihu_search, zhihu_global_search, zhihu_hot_list	Zhihu search, web search, hot list
zhihu_ask	Zhida AI answers based on Zhihu content
zhihu_knowledge_search	Search knowledge bases
zhihu_question_recommendations, zhihu_question_answers	Find questions and read answer summaries
zhihu_user_content_detail, zhihu_user_content_comments	Read your own published content and its comments
zhihu_creator_account_stats, zhihu_creator_content_stats	Your creator statistics
zhihu_quota	Check official quota

Cost protection

By default the plugin only uses Zhihu's free allowance: before each request it checks the official quota and skips the request if none is left. It also stops after 100 requests per day (Beijing time). Both can be changed in the plugin configuration:

config:
  allowPaid: false
  dailyCallLimit: 100

Paid use is allowed only when you set allowPaid: true yourself.

Limits

• Zero cost is not guaranteed: other clients on the same account can use up the free allowance first.
• Uploaded files are stored on Zhihu's servers; do not upload unpublished manuscripts. Each file is limited to 20 MB.
• Requests are never retried automatically.
• Not included: OAuth account switching, top-ups, or wallet queries.
