Try it

This sends a real call to https://api.okdata.online and is billed as usual: at most $0.02. Failed calls are free. Your key goes only to that address and is never stored on this site.

data.item is one ChannelsShareLink.

FieldTypeViewDescription
idstringcompactThe video's ID.
urlstringcompactThe share link (weixin.qq.com/sph/…).

The view column is the smallest view a field comes back in: compact returns only compact fields, standard adds the standard ones, full returns everything. The default is standard.

Common errors

Every error has the same shape and says whether it was charged. The ones this endpoint can return:

HTTPCodeMeaningCharged
400invalid_paramsA parameter is missing, has the wrong type or value, or the method is wrong. problems lists each one; param names the first.Retry: after a fixno
401unauthorizedThe key is missing, malformed, revoked, disabled or expired (reason says which when known).Retry: nono
402insufficient_balanceThe balance (available) cannot cover the most this call could cost (required).Retry: after a fixno
404not_foundThe post, account or page does not exist or is not public. Endpoints whose charge_when_not_found is above 0 charge this answer (the source billed us for it): the body then says charged: true and amount.Retry: nono
429rate_limitedThe account sent too many requests this minute (reason: rate) or has too many calls running (reason: concurrency).Retry: yesno
500settlement_unknownThe data came back, but the charge could not be confirmed.Retry: with the same Idempotency-Keyunknown until looked up

Questions

How much does the WeChat Channels video share link API cost?

One call costs $0.02 and returns one channels_share_link. 1,000 lookups cost $20.00. Failed calls are not charged.

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

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