social — What a person or company said in public — openbash
One surface over X, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube: profiles, posts, comments, reactions and search.
social
social is a command on the openbash shell, reachable over HTTP, SSH and MCP with one key. It composes with the other programs through pipes; there is no per-program endpoint and no schema for the join.

help
social: public posts and profiles, as JSON.
RETURNS
One JSON object on stdout. `social` with no arguments prints every study and
what it takes.
NOTES
Each network is billed at its own rate: LinkedIn costs twenty times what X
does, because the upstream does. `linkedin company-by-domain` exists because a
website domain is the join you usually have, and a LinkedIn url is not.

JSON to stdout, so it composes: pipe to `jq` to pick a field, or `> /tmp/…` to keep it.
Run a study with no arguments — `social x profile` — to see what it takes.
