What is charged, and what is not
Every answer says what it charged in meta.billing. The rules are the same on every platform.
Charged
The call is charged at the endpoint's own price, as its row in the table says.
Charged only where the table says “charged”: a search that finds nothing still did the search.
Where the price is per item, only the valid items that came back count, with the least a call costs.
Never charged$0.00
Retried on our side; if it still fails, the call is free.
A deleted video or an unknown account answers not_found, free.
A missing or invalid parameter is refused before anything runs.
With the same Idempotency-Key within 24 hours it is one call, charged once.
Questions about paying
PricingHow much does the WeChat Channels API cost?
$0.0200 a call on every endpoint. You pay per call from a prepaid balance: no subscription and no monthly minimum.
Is a call that finds nothing charged?
On 5 of the 7 endpoints, yes: the search was done. The table says which; a call that fails is never charged.
How is paging billed?
Every page is a call of its own, at the same price. Reading on in a result you already have, with `read_more` or `dataxapi more`, is free.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. A new account can try it free: up to 5 calls at $0.0200. After that you top up from $10; the balance never expires.
