Coming soon

This endpoint is listed but not callable yet: a call answers capability_paused and is not charged. The parameters, fields and price on this page are the contract it will open with; the status page and the changelog say when it does.

Known limits

  • The whole list comes in one answer; there is no next page.

Returned fields

data.items is a list of Miniprogram.

Questions

Can I call the WeChat mini program search API now?

This endpoint is listed but not callable yet: a call answers capability_paused and is not charged. The parameters, fields and price on this page are the contract it will open with; the status page and the changelog say when it does.

How much does the WeChat mini program search API cost?

One call costs $0.15 and returns one page of about 25 results. Collecting 1,000 results takes about 40 calls, $6.00 in total. Each page is a separate call; failed calls are not charged.

How do I get the next page?

Pass page.next_cursor from the response back as the cursor parameter. When page.has_more is false there is nothing left. Every page is its own call at $0.15.

Do I need a WeChat Search account, cookies or a QR login?

No. You send only your okdata API key. The data is public data from WeChat Search; nothing is fetched with your own WeChat Search account.

Am I charged when a call fails?

No. Every error response says charged: false, except a timeout, which says charged: null until the outcome is known. Resend with the same Idempotency-Key and you are never charged twice.

What if WeChat Search does not show a field?

The field is null, and meta.unavailable names it with the reason: platform (the platform never shows it) or capability (we cannot fetch it yet).
