# How to list a WeChat Channels account's videos One endpoint does it: WeChat Channels account videos. The worked example below is 2 calls and costs $0.0400 in all; a failed call is not charged. You get the videos a WeChat Channels (视频号) account has posted, newest first, page after page: each video's ID, description, time posted, and its likes, comments, shares and saves. ## Step by step ### Step 1: WeChat Channels account videos List the account's videos by its ID, the username ending in `@finder`. Each item's `id` is the video's ID, which the video and comments endpoints take; `metrics` holds its counts. For the next page, send `page.next_cursor` as `cursor`, until `page.has_more` is false.

Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up. ```jsonc { "code": "ok", "request_id": "2143009c-a56e-4423-a070-e4b13334cc49", "data": { "items": [ { "id": "14031298325505939525", "type": "video", "text": "周末露营｜第一次尝试就爱上了，清单放评论区", "published_at": "2026-10-17T04:01:50.000Z", "author": { "id": "v2_060000231003b20feb309ebc5d518611c23f3acfd8710c36fa0cf94a87b33dd1af62d903a6@finder", "name": "老周说装备" }, "metrics": { "likes": 4, "comments": 0, "shares": 8, "favorites": 13 } }, // … 14 more ] }, "page": { "next_cursor": "c1.F0ZqnT3QiojAZwQ9pjt4q0VB88XXKYhLbBXIaplQ", "cursor_expires_at": "2026-10-17T11:14:05.000Z", "has_more": true, "returned": 15 }, "warnings": [], "meta": { "capability": "wechat_channels.users.videos.list", "result_status": "complete", "fetched_at": "2026-10-17T10:14:05.000Z", "cached": false, "replayed": false, "unavailable": { "url": "platform", "title": "platform", "lang": "capability", "author.username": "platform", "author.avatar_url": "capability", "author.verified": "capability", "author.followers": "capability", "metrics.views": "capability", "metrics.reposts": "platform", "images": "capability", "hashtags": "capability", "mentions": "capability", "is_pinned": "capability", "post_id": "platform", "parent_id": "platform", "root_id": "platform" }, "billing": { "amount": "0.02", "currency": "USD", "balance_after": "9.98" } } } ``` ## What the example costs two pages of one account's videos | Endpoint | Calls | Price | Subtotal | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [WeChat Channels account videos](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_channels/users/videos/list/) | 2 | $0.0200 | $0.0400 | | Total | 2 | | $0.0400 | Prices are the prices in force when this page was built. A failed call costs nothing. ## In your AI (MCP) Connect DataXAPI to your AI client once. Then say what you want; the agent finds these endpoints, checks the price and calls them on your balance. Say: Use DataXAPI to list the latest videos of this WeChat Channels account, with each one's likes and comments, as one table. What the agent sends to the call tool: ```json { "capability": "wechat_channels.users.videos.list", "id": "v2_060000231003b20faec8c5e5811dc3ddce02ec30b0772029a703e1b9f446ba147658bbcfab81@finder", "idempotency_key": "" } ``` [About the MCP server](https://dataxapi.com/mcp/) ## Good to know - A `page.next_cursor` is good for an hour: use it within that time to go on. - An account without videos returns an empty result, and an empty result is charged like a page with data. ## The whole script The task above as one script that runs as it is: Python, the SDK, your key from DATAXAPI_API_KEY. It writes a CSV file and ends by printing what it called, fetched and was charged. ```python # pip install dataxapi # export DATAXAPI_API_KEY=dx_... (your key) import csv from decimal import Decimal from dataxapi import DataXAPI dx = DataXAPI() calls, fetched, charged = 0, 0, Decimal("0") def run(capability, params): """One call; counts it and what it was charged.""" global calls, charged result = dx.call(capability, params) calls += 1 charged += Decimal(str(result["meta"]["billing"]["amount"])) return result ACCOUNT = "v2_060000231003b20faec8c5e5811dc3ddce02ec30b0772029a703e1b9f446ba147658bbcfab81@finder" PAGES = 2 # The account's videos, newest first, page after page. rows, cursor = [], None for _ in range(PAGES): page = run("wechat_channels.users.videos.list", {"id": ACCOUNT, **({"cursor": cursor} if cursor else {})}) for video in page["data"]["items"]: counts = video.get("metrics", {}) rows.append([video["id"], video.get("published_at"), counts.get("likes"), counts.get("comments"), counts.get("shares"), counts.get("favorites"), video.get("text")]) cursor = page["page"]["next_cursor"] if not page["page"]["has_more"]: break fetched = len(rows) with open("channels-videos.csv", "w", newline="", encoding="utf-8") as file: csv.writer(file).writerows([["id", "published_at", "likes", "comments", "shares", "favorites", "text"], *rows]) print(f"calls: {calls}, items: {fetched}, charged: ${charged}") ``` Run for real on 2026-10-29: 2 calls, 30 rows written, $0.0400 charged.
