WeChat Article Search & Text Extractor — Sogou

Search public WeChat Official Account articles indexed by Sogou and optionally extract readable article text. No WeChat login is required.

通过搜狗微信按关键词搜索公开的微信公众号文章，解析微信原文地址，并可提取可读正文。支持 JSON、CSV 导出，无需微信登录。

Quick start

Use this input for your first run:

{
  "query": "新能源汽车",
  "limit": 3,
  "fetchContent": true
}

1. Enter a keyword in query.
2. Choose a result limit from 1 to 10.
3. Set fetchContent to true to retrieve article text.
4. Start the Actor and open its Output tab.
5. Check each row's status before using the results; export the dataset as JSON or CSV.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
query	string	Required	Non-empty search keyword. Chinese keywords generally match Chinese-language content more directly.
limit	integer	3	Maximum results from one search page; allowed range 1–10. Actual count can be lower.
fetchContent	boolean	false	When true, retrieve readable text after resolving the article URL. When false, still resolve article links.

Suggested starting settings: 512 MB memory and a 300-second timeout.

Output

One article is saved per dataset row. The Output tab provides an overview and an article-text view. Missing source metadata is omitted rather than invented.

Field	Meaning
query	Original search keyword
title	Article title
source	Official Account name, when available
publishedAt	Publication time or date as extracted from the search result, when available
snippet	Search-result excerpt, when available
url	Original Sogou result URL
realUrl	Resolved WeChat article URL, when successful
resolvedUrl	Alias of the successfully resolved article URL
content	Readable article text when requested and successfully fetched
resolutionStatus	resolved, failed, or deferred
status	resolved, fetched, or failed
error	Processing error for a failed row
resolutionError	Link-resolution diagnostic, when applicable

• resolved: the WeChat URL was resolved; article text was not requested.
• fetched: readable article text was retrieved.
• failed: inspect error. A title or search excerpt is not proof that article text was fetched.

The default key-value store record OUTPUT contains the query, requested limit, count, succeeded and failed counts, and a summary status: complete, partial, failed, or empty.

If every returned article fails, the run fails after saving the article rows and summary. A search with no results is recorded as empty. Search and storage errors fail the run. Previously saved rows remain available if a later operation fails.

What you can use it for

• Discover articles about a topic or brand in Chinese-language public content.
• Collect source text for research or downstream summarization.
• Export structured article records into your own analysis workflow.
• Run keyword searches through the Apify API or your own scheduled tasks.

This Actor produces source data; it does not summarize articles or track changes between runs.

Current limitations

• One keyword and one search page per run, at most 10 articles.
• Search covers Sogou's available index, not every WeChat article.
• No full Official Account history, guaranteed real-time coverage, or strict account filtering.
• No private, paid-access, or deleted article access.
• No engagement metrics such as reads, likes, or comments.
• Text extraction does not perform OCR on images or download article media.
• Verification challenges, expired links, and source availability can prevent resolution or text extraction.
• Links are handled serially; already resolved URLs are reused. A Sogou verification challenge stops further Sogou link resolution. No automatic CAPTCHA-solving, proxy, or browser fallback is configured.

Pricing

Check this Actor's Pricing tab for the currently effective charges and any platform usage charges.

The dataset intentionally includes failed rows for diagnosis. If default-dataset-item billing is enabled, those rows may also incur result charges. This version does not implement custom success-only billing; do not interpret a failed run as a guarantee of zero charges.

Support

Use this Actor's Issues tab and include the input JSON, run ID, and exact error message. Never include API tokens or other credentials.

本工具当前适合小批量资料检索。遇到失败请查看 error，并提供关键词、运行 ID 和报错信息；不要提供 Token。
