You get the comments under a WeChat Channels (视频号) video, page after page: text, commenter's name, likes, time and IP location, with the video's own like, comment, forward and save counts beside them.

Step 1: WeChat Channels video detail

Get the video by its ID, a string of digits: the id a video list gives, such as the account's own videos or those of one of its collections. metrics.comments tells you roughly how many pages of comments there are; the next step takes the same ID.

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 get the first three pages of comments under the WeChat Channels video 14559898883113486609, and tell me what people complain about most.

What the agent sends to the call tool

  "idempotency_key": "<a new UUID>"
}

With a Skill

Comments and word of mouth

“What are people praising and complaining about under this post?”

The Comments and word of mouth Skill does this job as a ready-made task, under a spending cap. Its example run: 3 calls, at most $0.0060.

Good to know

About 24 comments a page, 30 at most; a cursor works for an hour.
Only top-level comments are returned, without their reply counts. A commenter has a name and an avatar but no handle: author.id is an anonymous ID the platform makes for the comment list and opens no account.
The video detail has no play count and no link. A count WeChat shows as “10万+” comes as 100002 and is marked a lower bound in approximate.
An empty page of comments is charged. When the platform does not give a video (one posted the same day can be like this), the call is reported as an upstream error, may be retried once and is not charged.
