Security Notes
The server uses environment variables for sensitive API keys (Reddit, OpenRouter, HuggingFace, Semantic Scholar), which is good practice. It fetches data from numerous third-party APIs and performs web scraping on several sites (e.g., Betalist, Replicate, TrustMRR, Gumroad, Twitter via Nitter). Web scraping introduces inherent fragility and potential for breakage if target site structures change. The `TrustMRRFetcher` and fallback for `RemoteOKFetcher` utilize Playwright, which launches a headless browser, adding a dependency and another process to manage. However, there are no obvious hardcoded secrets or malicious code patterns detected in the provided snippets. Input sanitization is implicitly handled by the Pydantic models for output, but direct HTML/JSON parsing should be robust to malformed data.
