WeChat Channels account collections API

Only on WeChat Channels.

The WeChat Channels account collections API returns every public collection of a WeChat Channels account by the account's ID: name, description, cover, number of videos, when it was last updated. A collection's ID is what the endpoint that lists its videos takes. One call costs 12 credits ($0.024 to $0.04 depending on the pack); failed calls are free. Call it over HTTP or from your AI client over MCP. Last tested 2026-10-17.

nullFields WeChat Channels cannot give

WeChat Channels gives every field of this call. Where one item lacks a value, that field is null.

Every item also has platform, id, ref, approx and type; the response around the items is the same on every call. Response format

What to expect.

One call returns the first page only, up to 100 items, with no cursor, for 12 credits.
A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty", items is empty, and it costs 12 credits.

1 call per second per key, 5 after a purchase; going over is not charged. Rate limits

A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. Error codes

Questions.
Short answers.

Everything on WeChat Channels
Do I need a WeChat Channels account or WeChat Channels's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on WeChat Channels; you never sign in to WeChat Channels or apply for anything there.
Can I get the next page?
No. On WeChat Channels this interface gives its first page only (up to 100 items): the response carries no cursor, and page.has_more is always false.
What does “Preview” mean here?
Preview: this interface is not marked stable yet, so its parameters and fields may still change. It is charged like any other call, and a failed call is not charged.
