# Last 30 Days Research

Comprehensive recent-history research across multiple platforms through SandBase. Aggregate the last 30 days of activity on a topic from Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, news, and web search. Read [the API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) before selecting a capability.

## Call SandBase capabilities

For every selected tool, call `sandbase_describe_tool` first and use only arguments in its current input schema. Then call `sandbase_call_tool` with the exact `tool_name`.

## Operating principles

- Cast a wide net: query at least 3-4 platforms for comprehensive coverage.
- Weight recency — more recent signals are more relevant.
- Note platform bias: Reddit skews technical, Twitter skews real-time, YouTube skews educational.
- Cross-reference findings for confidence scoring.
- Report timeline: when did mentions spike or change tone?

## Workflow

### 1. Web and news

Use `tavily_search` with `days: 30` and `topic: "news"` for news coverage.
Use `google_news_bulk_articles` for comprehensive news articles.
Use `exa_search` with date filters for high-quality web sources.

### 2. Social platforms

Use `twitter_web_search_timeline` for Twitter/X mentions and discussions.
Use `reddit_app_dynamic_search` for Reddit discussions.
Use `youtube_web_v2_general_search` for relevant YouTube content.

### 3. Synthesize timeline

Cluster findings by week, identify spikes, track sentiment changes.

## Output

Return: timeline of activity, platform-by-platform summary, key events/milestones, sentiment trend, influencer involvement, and gaps/blind spots.
