# How do I find an industry's hit articles on WeChat Official Accounts? (2026) 10 industry keywords come to about $1.20: search with wechat.posts.search sorted by heat, read each article's numbers with wechat_mp.articles.metrics, and sort by reads. Each call is $0.0200. There is no ready-made industry chart behind this: you build the table yourself, from public articles. DataXAPI reads WeChat Official Accounts with 8 endpoints, from $0.0200 a call; a failed call is not charged. Updated 2026-11-04 ## From keywords: three steps 1. Search. Call `wechat.posts.search` with an industry word, `sort=popular` and `published_within=week`, or `half_year` for a longer look. WeChat Search mixes articles and Channels videos, so keep the items whose `type` is `article`. They carry a title, a digest, the account's name, the time and a link, and no counts yet. 2. Read the numbers. Pass each article's `url` to `wechat_mp.articles.metrics`: `metrics.views` is reads, `metrics.likes` likes, `metrics.shares` shares, `metrics.favorites` saves, `metrics.comments` comments. It takes the long link with `__biz`, `mid`, `idx` and `sn`; a short `/s/` link is not taken. 3. Sort. Above 100,000 reads WeChat shows only “10万+”, so the count comes as 100001 and `approximate` marks it a lower bound. Among those, tell articles apart by shares and likes. ## From accounts: when you want the industry's regulars `wechat_mp.accounts.search` finds accounts by keyword, at $0.05635 an account and 5 by default. With `view=full` it adds a third-party database's estimates of active followers and lead-article reads, not official and possibly months old. Pass each account's `id` to `wechat_mp.accounts.articles.list`, about 10 articles a page, then read those articles with the metrics call. A read count means more beside the account's own usual: 50,000 reads is a hit for an account whose lead articles get 5,000. Use the estimate above as a rough yardstick, or the account's own recent articles. ## What a round comes to The numbers are as they stand when read. Read an article again a week later to see how far it went. | Way | Calls | Comes to | | --- | --- | --- | | 10 keywords, one page each, numbers for the 50 articles you pick | 10 × $0.0200 + 50 × $0.0200 | $1.20 | | 5 accounts, one page each, numbers for their 50 articles | 5 × $0.05635 + 5 × $0.0200 + 50 × $0.0200 | About $1.38 | ## Endpoints - [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.
