What WeChat data APIs are there? Official Accounts, Channels and WeChat Search (2026)
DataXAPI has 29 WeChat endpoints on one key: 8 for Official Accounts, 15 for Channels and 6 for WeChat Search. WeChat's own interface only manages an account you run, and most social data APIs have no WeChat at all, or only a few endpoints. DataXAPI reads WeChat Official Accounts with 8 endpoints, from $0.0200 a call; a failed call is not charged.

Official Accounts: from finding an account to its comments
Each step takes what the step before it gives, so one link or one account name is enough to begin.
| You want | Endpoint |
|---|---|
| An account's original ID, from its name | wechat_mp.accounts.search, wechat.accounts.search |
| Who it is and who is behind it | wechat_mp.accounts.get, wechat_mp.accounts.owner.get |
| Its past articles | wechat_mp.accounts.articles.list |
| An article's full text | wechat_mp.articles.get |
| Reads, likes, shares | wechat_mp.articles.metrics |
| Featured comments and their replies | wechat_mp.articles.comments.list, wechat_mp.comments.replies.list |
Channels: accounts, videos, comments, collections, replays
Find an account by name or videos by keyword; then an account's videos, a video's details, numbers and comments, an account's collections and live replays, and a share link that opens in WeChat. Three of the 15 are backup versions: the same parameters and result from another source, priced on their own.
WeChat Search: articles, videos, index, suggestions, mini programs
Search articles and videos across WeChat by keyword, find accounts, read a keyword's WeChat Index for the last 30 days, get the suggestions under a keyword, and find mini programs. One of the 6 is a backup version.
What it takes
A key. No WeChat account, login or cookie of yours is used, there is no app to register, and what is read is what anyone can see in public. Paste one sentence to your AI, or call it from your own code.
Endpoints
Each with its price; every page has the parameters, the fields and a recorded response.
