HypeCheck

HypeCheck is an open-source CLI that investigates hyped AI/crypto projects on social media and produces trust reports.

• 7-stage investigation pipeline:
  • intake
  • scrape
  • network
  • code_audit
  • verify_claims
  • timeline
  • report
• X scraping via syndication API + fxtwitter for individual posts
• GitHub repository analysis via public REST API (optional GITHUB_TOKEN support)
• Polymarket wallet/profile checks via public Gamma/Data APIs
• Optional OpenAI-compatible LLM synthesis (OPENAI_API_KEY)
