# China social media data API: one key for Xiaohongshu, Douyin, WeChat (2026) Four things decide an aggregated API: whether it covers the platforms, whether its responses share one shape, how it charges, and whether an AI can use it. DataXAPI puts Xiaohongshu, Douyin, WeChat Official Accounts, Channels and Search, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Weibo, Zhihu and global platforms on one key, 230 endpoints in one response shape, paid per call, usable from Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT. The free trial covers up to 333 calls; a failed call is not charged. Updated 2026-11-06 ## Why one key? Joining each platform apart means separate sign-ups, top-ups, field names and errors, and a new parser for every platform. With one key and one shape, a new platform is one word in the path: the author is always in `author`, counts in `metrics`, and the next page always comes from `page.next_cursor`. ## What to check Where DataXAPI stands on each, to set against any other service. | Check | Why it matters | DataXAPI | | --- | --- | --- | | Chinese platforms covered | Official Accounts, Channels, WeChat Search, PGY and Xingtu are the hardest to find | All of them: 8 Official Account, 15 Channels, 23 Xiaohongshu and 38 Douyin endpoints | | Response shape | One shape means fewer mistakes for code and AI | One envelope and one set of objects everywhere | | Charging | Whether failures cost money, and whether there is a subscription | Per call, no subscription, a failed call is not charged; the free trial covers up to 333 calls | | AI access | So the AI finds and calls endpoints itself | A remote MCP server for Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT; Skills and a command line too | | Platform accounts | Your own accounts get restricted | None; public data only | ## One job on three platforms Look up 防晒霜 (sunscreen): a page of Xiaohongshu search $0.0200, Douyin $0.0200 and WeChat Search $0.0200, 3 calls, $0.06, each returning the same kind of post object, ready to go into one table. ## 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. ## Endpoints - [Xiaohongshu note search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/notes/search/) ($0.0200 / a call): Search Xiaohongshu notes by terms: title, text, author, engagement counts, images, and a link that opens. - [Douyin video search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/videos/search/) ($0.0200 / a call): Search Douyin videos by terms, a page at a time, sorted by relevance, newest or most liked and filtered by time posted: caption, author with follower count, engagement counts. - [WeChat Search articles and videos](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat/posts/search/) ($0.0200 / a call): Get a page of WeChat Search results for search terms: Official Account articles and Channels videos mixed, each saying in type whether it is an article or a video; by relevance, newest or hottest, filtered by time posted: title or description, the source account's name, time published, an article's link, a video's likes and saves.
