  • fields.relevanceHow closely it is related to your keyword, from 0 to 1.
  • fields.search_indexThe related keyword's search index: the platform's own index, not a count of searches. null where the platform gives no figure for the word.
  • fields.composite_indexThe related keyword's composite index: the platform's own index of how much attention content about it drew, not a 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 Search suggestions API: paging and billing.

One call returns the first page only, up to 20 items, with no cursor, for 60 credits.
A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty", items is empty, and it costs 60 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.

WeChat Search suggestions 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 next page?
No. On WeChat Articles this interface gives its first page only (up to 20 items): the response carries no cursor, and page.has_more is always false.
What does one call cost in dollars?
60 credits: $0.20 at 300 credits per dollar (purchases from $10), $0.12 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 60 credits. This interface cannot tell a target that does not exist from one with no data, so both are charged as empty.
How much does one call return?
One call returns the first page only, up to 20 items, with no cursor, for 60 credits.
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 call for you.
