WeChat Articles API
Articles, comments, accounts.
The WeChat Articles API lets you search articles and read article details, comments, account profiles and an account's articles, with no WeChat Articles account or login. Each call costs 12 credits ($0.024 to $0.04); failed calls are free. WeChat Articles does not give view counts, so that field is returned as null. Use it over HTTP with an API key, or through MCP from your AI client. Last tested 2026-11-05.
