nullFields WeChat Channels cannot give

Read null as “WeChat Channels did not give this”, not as zero. These are always null on this call:

  • urlA link to the comment, where the platform has one.
  • reply_countHow many replies it has.

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 a page of up to 30 items. When page.has_more is true, send page.cursor back as cursor for the next page; each page costs 12 credits and a cursor works for 30 minutes.
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

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.

Your AI is one URL away
from all of social media.
