Brief for an AIEverything needed to call it, as text
Show the text
Use the DataXAPI endpoint wechat_channels.users.collections.list (WeChat Channels account collections). Get every public collection of a WeChat Channels account by the account's ID: name, description, cover, number of videos, when it was last updated. A collection's ID is what the endpoint that lists its videos takes.
Call GET https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/wechat_channels/users/collections/list with the header "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY". Read the key from the environment variable DATAXAPI_API_KEY; never write it into code.
Parameters:
- id (required): The Channels account's ID, starting with v2_ and ending in @finder; a video's author.id is one. Example: v2_060000231003b20faec8c5e5811dc3ddce02ec30b0772029a703e1b9f446ba147658bbcfab81@finder.
- view: How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: compact, standard (default), full.
- fields: Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as author.name.
Price: $0.0200 per call. Errors, timeouts and objects that do not exist are not charged; an empty result is charged $0.0200.
The answer is JSON: data.items holds channels collection; meta.billing.amount is what this call was charged.
Example:
curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/wechat_channels/users/collections/list" \
  --data-urlencode "id=v2_060000231003b20faec8c5e5811dc3ddce02ec30b0772029a703e1b9f446ba147658bbcfab81@finder" \
