You end up with the articles a WeChat Official Account (公众号) has published, newest first: title, digest, link and time, page after page. All you need to start is the link of one of its articles.

Step 1: WeChat Official Account article detail

Open one article of the account by its link. Besides the title and full text, the answer names the account: author.id is its original ID, starting with gh_, and the next step takes it. Already have the gh_ ID? Skip this step.

From a response recorded 2026-10-12 19:03 UTC. 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.

Prices are the prices in force when this page was built. A failed call, and an object that does not exist, cost 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: Here is a WeChat article link. Use DataXAPI to find the Official Account that published it and list its 30 latest articles: title, date and link.

What the agent sends to the call tool

  "capability": "wechat_mp.articles.get",
  "url": "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MjM5MjAxNDM4MA==&mid=2667038683&idx=1&sn=0422127e651acd7f6cf6ef7e1cff04bc",

With a Skill

Competitor account monitoring

“What did competitors post this week, and which post took off?”

The Competitor account monitoring Skill does this job as a ready-made task, under a spending cap. Its example run: 2 calls, at most $0.0040.

Good to know

A page holds about 10 articles, 20 at most. A cursor works for an hour; after that, start again from the first page.
The list gives each article's digest in text, not its whole text, and no counts. Get the full text from the article detail and the reads and likes from the article stats, both by the article's url.
An article's id is made of the __biz, mid and idx in its long link. The endpoints that read one article take its url, not this id.
A page that comes back empty is charged like any other page. A gh_ ID no account has is answered not_found and is not charged.
