# How do I export WeChat Channels data? (2026) 300 videos of a peer's account come to about $0.46: find its ID with wechat_channels.users.search, page through wechat_channels.users.videos.list, and write the result to a table. For your own account, start with the data centre of WeChat's Channels assistant, whose page says it gets and downloads your videos' detailed data. DataXAPI reads WeChat Channels with 15 endpoints, from $0.0150 a call; a failed call is not charged. Updated 2026-11-04 ## Your own account, or someone else's They answer different questions. The assistant is what you log in to as that account; DataXAPI reads what any account shows publicly, with a key. | Compare | Channels assistant | DataXAPI | | --- | --- | --- | | Whose data | The account you log in to | Any account you have the ID or the exact name of | | What you get | Its page: video, live and follower data, and downloading videos' detailed data | Description, time, likes, comments, forwards, saves of each video | | Keep in mind | We have not logged in to see which columns it gives | No plays and no followers | ## Exporting an account 1. Get the ID, which starts with `v2_` and ends with `@finder`. `wechat_channels.users.search` takes the exact name, at $0.0600. The ID starting with `sph` shown in the app does not work here. 2. Export. `dataxapi call wechat_channels.users.videos.list id=ACCOUNT_ID --pages 20 --max-spend 0.4 --out videos.json`: about 15 videos a page, newest first, at $0.0200 a page. Or tell your AI: “Get this Channels account's videos as a spreadsheet, one video a row.” 20 pages and the search come to $0.46. 3. For peers, repeat by account: the latest page of 10 accounts is 10 × $0.0200, $0.20. ## Seeing how the numbers move The numbers are as they stand when read, so read again later and compare. For a whole account, paging through the list again gives every video's counts: $0.40 for 20 pages. For a few videos, `wechat_channels.videos.metrics` takes the list's `id`, at $0.0150: 10 videos are $0.15. A count WeChat shows as “10万+” comes as 100002 and is marked a lower bound in `approximate`. DataXAPI reads public data only. ## Endpoints - [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.
