Need 100 items? Send limit: 100 and one call pages for you: at most 5 pages, 60 credits. It stops once it has them or the list ends; pages it does not use are not charged, and neither are pages that fail. Reading 1,000 items comes to about 600 credits, about $2.00.

Daily watch: tell your AI “watch this daily” and this call runs by itself every day, sending only what is new: at most 372 credits a month, about $1.24. How to set it up

What you get from the WeChat Articles Comments API.
From a recorded answer.

A recorded call returned 6 items; here is the first, field by field. Names and text are removed from the sample; the numbers are as recorded.

Lighter for your AI: the same recorded data (6 items) is about 2,928 tokens as the platform's raw JSON and about 841 as this interface returns it, 71% fewer (measured 2026-11-06). How it was measured

  • urlA link to the comment, where the platform has one.
  • content_idThe item the comment is under.
Other values of this call

Send the parameter and the call returns something else:

reply_ofthe replies under one comment12 credits

Compared with the Kuaishou Comments API, this call also gives reply count.

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

WeChat Articles Comments API: paging and billing.

One call returns a page of usually 20 items, up to 100 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.
On this call WeChat Articles cannot tell a article that does not exist from one with no data: both come back as empty, and both are charged.

5 calls per second per key, 20 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

“Last tested” above is the last day a real call of this interface succeeded. Each call reads from the platform, and fetched_at in the answer is when it was read. The same request sent again with the same key within 5 minutes is a replay (replayed: true): 0 credits, and the answer as first read.

Once connected over MCP, these questions use the WeChat Articles Comments API.

WeChat Articles Comments API: questions.
Short answers.

All WeChat Articles data APIs
Do I need a WeChat Articles account or WeChat Articles's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on WeChat Articles; you never sign in to WeChat Articles or apply for anything there.
Can I get the replies under one comment?
Yes: send reply_of in the request. That call costs 12 credits.
What does one call cost in dollars?
12 credits: $0.04 at 300 credits per dollar (purchases from $10), $0.024 at 500 per dollar (from $200). Credits never expire and there is no subscription. 100 free credits on sign-up, no card.
Am I charged when a call fails or finds nothing?
A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty" and it costs 12 credits.
How much does one call return?
One call returns a page of usually 20 items, up to 100 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.
Is there a rate limit?
5 calls a second per key, 20 a second after your first purchase. A request over the limit is told how long to wait and is not charged.
How do I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. In Claude or ChatGPT, add the MCP address https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp as a custom connector, sign in with the code we email you and press Allow; there is no key to paste. In Claude Code, run one command, type /mcp, pick socialtoai and sign in; Codex and Cursor sign in too, with their steps on the connect page. Then ask in plain words and your AI calls comments for you.
