# How do I export all of a WeChat Channels account's videos? (2026)

Find the account's ID, then page through wechat_channels.users.videos.list. At about 15 videos a page and $0.0200 a page, 300 videos come to $0.40, plus $0.0600 for finding the account by name: $0.46 in all. Each row has the description, time, likes, comments, forwards and saves. No WeChat account of yours is used. DataXAPI reads WeChat Channels with 15 endpoints, from $0.0150 a call; a failed call is not charged.

## Getting the account's ID

The ID starts with `v2_` and ends with `@finder`. The ID starting with `sph` shown in the app does not work here. Two ways: `wechat_channels.users.search` with the exact name, at $0.0600; or `wechat_channels.videos.get` with the share link of any of its videos, at $0.0200, whose `author.id` is the account's ID.

## Exporting

`dataxapi call wechat_channels.users.videos.list id=ACCOUNT_ID --pages 20 --max-spend 0.4 --out videos.json`, or tell your AI: “Get all this Channels account's videos as a spreadsheet.” A page can hold up to 30, so it can come to less. A cursor is good for an hour. A failed call is not charged.

The list has no play counts. To refresh counts later without paging again, read one video's with `wechat_channels.videos.metrics`, at $0.0150: 300 videos come to $4.50.

## Endpoints

- [WeChat Channels account videos](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_channels/users/videos/list/) ($0.0200 / a call): Get a page of the videos a WeChat Channels account published, newest first, by the account's ID: description, time published, likes, comments, forwards, saves.
- [WeChat Channels account search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_channels/users/search/) ($0.0600 / a call): Find WeChat Channels accounts by name: the name has to match exactly, and every account of that name is returned, with its ID, name, signature, avatar, whether it is verified and what the verification says. The ID can be passed to the Channels profile, video list, live replay and other endpoints.
- [WeChat Channels video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_channels/videos/get/) ($0.0200 / a call): Get one WeChat Channels video by its ID, a search result's export/ ID or its share link: description, author, time published, likes, comments, forwards, saves, and the video file's address with the key that decrypts it.
- [WeChat Channels video stats](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_channels/videos/metrics/) ($0.0150 / a call): Get the current counts of a WeChat Channels video by its ID: likes, comments, shares, saves, with its description and account. Cheaper than the whole video.
