# Douyin, WeChat and Xiaohongshu data in Claude Code and Codex (2026)

Connect DataXAPI's MCP server: paste one sentence with your key into Claude Code or Codex and it sets itself up; then ask in plain words, with 230 endpoints on one key. A page of Douyin video search is $0.0200, a page of an Official Account's articles $0.0200. The free trial covers up to 333 calls; a failed call is not charged.

Updated 2026-11-06

## Set it up

Paste this into Claude Code or Codex: “Read https://dataxapi.com/agents.md and set up DataXAPI in this agent. My API key is dx_…; use it for every DataXAPI call.”

Or run `npx dataxapi setup` in a terminal: it writes the entry and installs the base skill. It does not write your key: put that in the environment variable `DATAXAPI_API_KEY`.

| Client | Where the entry goes |
| --- | --- |
| Claude Code | `~/.claude.json` |
| Codex | `~/.codex/config.toml` |

## What to ask

Say what you want; it finds the endpoint and its price, then calls it.

| You say | What it calls |
| --- | --- |
| Search Douyin for 露营 videos from the last week and write the 20 most liked to a CSV | `douyin.videos.search` |
| The titles and reads of this Official Account's last 30 articles, as a table | `wechat_mp.accounts.articles.list`, `wechat_mp.articles.metrics` |
| What the comments under the top 5 Xiaohongshu sunscreen reviews complain about | `xiaohongshu.notes.search`, `xiaohongshu.notes.comments.list` |
| Write a script that saves these 10 Douyin accounts' new videos to a database every day | `douyin.users.videos.list` |

## Why does it not fill the context?

A coding agent's context is what it can least spare. what an AI reads through DataXAPI takes 95% fewer tokens than the platform's raw JSON: a page of 7 Douyin results is 1,622 tokens, against 187k raw. Every platform uses the same field names, so the parsing code it writes works on the next platform too.

## How do I keep spending in hand?

Finding an endpoint and reading its parameters and price are free; only `call` is charged, and a failed call is not. Give the agent its own key with a limit; in a script, `X-Max-Price` caps what one call may cost, and the same `Idempotency-Key` within 24 hours is never charged twice.

## Why DataXAPI

- Steady: endpoints were available 99.9% of the last 30 days, on a public status page you can check.
- Fast: a paid call took 2.5 seconds at the median over the last 7 days (counted 2026-11-06).
- Fewer tokens: across 226 endpoints, one recorded real response each, the platform's own JSON comes to 9.2M tokens and what an AI reads through DataXAPI's MCP server to 452k, 95% fewer; the JSON of a direct API call is 90% fewer too (counted 2026-11-06). Every platform answers in one shape: the author in `author`, counts in `metrics`, the next page in `page.next_cursor`, so another platform needs no new parser.
- See before you pay: every endpoint's page shows a recorded real response, field by field.
- Spending you control: a failed call is not charged; each key can have a limit, `X-Max-Price` caps one call, and the same `Idempotency-Key` within 24 hours is never charged twice.
- Ready for AI: a remote MCP server listed in the official MCP registry as `com.dataxapi/mcp`, usable from Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT.
- Free trial of up to 333 calls, no card.
