# WeChat Channels video share link API

Make a link that opens a WeChat Channels video in WeChat, by the video's ID (it starts with weixin.qq.com/sph/). Each call makes a different link for the same video, and an older one still leads to it; a link cannot be built from the ID. One object a call; $0.0200 per call. Errors and timeouts are not charged.

- Endpoint: `GET https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/wechat_channels/videos/share_link/get`
- ID: `wechat_channels.videos.share_link.get`
- Also known as: wechat channels share url, channels video link
- Price: $0.0200 / call
- Live status is not on this page, which is a snapshot. Read it with `GET https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/catalog/status`
- Returns: 1 object, one channels share link object
- Returns channels share link, a preview structure that may still change
- [Run it in the Playground](https://dataxapi.com/console/playground/?capability=wechat_channels.videos.share_link.get&params=%7B%22id%22%3A%2214940144898316503592%22%7D)
- In Chinese: [微信视频号作品分享链接 API](https://dataxapi.com/zh/apis/wechat_channels/videos/share_link/get/)

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | text | Yes | The video's ID, a string of digits: the id a video list or a video gives. A search result's export/ ID is first turned into it with wechat_channels.videos.get. Example: `14940144898316503592`. |
| `view` | text |  | How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: `compact`, `standard` (default), `full`. |
| `fields` | list of text |  | Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as `author.name`. |

## Returned fields

`data.item` is one channels share link object. Preview: the structure may change, announced beforehand.

Three views: `compact` (the most used fields, long text cut short), `standard` (the default: every standard field) and `full` (adds `ext`, the platform's own fields). A field is in the view named and in every larger one.

| Field | Type | Description | From view | This endpoint |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | text | The video's ID. | `compact` | Yes |
| `url` | link | Share link that opens the video in WeChat. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate` | list of object | Which numbers of this item are approximate or lower bounds; absent when all are exact. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate[].field` | text | Path of the field, such as metrics.views. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate[].kind` | text | Approximate, or a lower bound. Values: `approximate`, `lower_bound`. | `compact` | Yes |

A field with no value on an item is `null`. A field this endpoint cannot give is left out and listed in `meta.unavailable`.

Typical size of one item: `compact` 76 B, `standard` 76 B, `full` 76 B (measured on the response recorded 2026-11-02 07:35 UTC).

## Paging

One object per call: there is nothing to page.

## When you are charged

| Case | Charged |
| --- | --- |
| A result with data | $0.0200, once per call |
| The object does not exist, is not visible or was deleted, a link that does not open, or parameters the platform refused (404, 400) | the endpoint's price, $0.0200: the data source answered and billed for it |
| Parameters we refuse before asking, a failure of ours or of the data source, a timeout | not charged |
| The most one call can cost | $0.0200 (send `X-Max-Price` to refuse anything above your own limit) |

Prices as read 2026-11-02 18:00 UTC, under price book 8, in effect since 2026-11-02 11:46 UTC; the Playground reads the price in force before a run.

## If the object does not exist

The answer is 404 `not_found`, charged the endpoint's price ($0.0200): the data source answered it and billed for the answer. The error says so with `charged: true` and the `amount`. `reason` says which: `not_found` (it does not exist) or `private_or_deleted`.

## Errors

Every error has the same structure: `code`, `message`, `charged`, `retry`, `retry_after_seconds`, `param`, `docs_url`.

## Use it in your AI

`dataxapi setup` gives the agents on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) the DataXAPI MCP server and the base skill. The key is read from DATAXAPI_API_KEY; none is written into a file.

MCP server: `https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp`. The entry for your client is under MCP in the request examples of this page; then ask your agent to call `wechat_channels.videos.share_link.get`.
