WeChat Brand, Account & Article Intelligence Monitor

Use this Actor to monitor wechat brand, account and article changes and return decision-ready change signals. It is designed for repeatable human, API, Apify AI, and MCP-driven workflows.

WeChat Official Accounts are an important China information channel. Instead of returning only article links, this Actor ranks brand/topic coverage and detects what appeared or changed across runs.

Why use this Actor

This Actor is built for users who need structured evidence and a decision layer rather than a pile of raw HTML. It extracts public-source data, normalizes the records, assigns deterministic scores that can be inspected, and emits compact actions suitable for people, APIs, MCP clients, and autonomous agents. The design favors lightweight HTTP execution where the source permits it and fails explicitly when a source blocks access instead of silently inventing rows. Snapshot input can be reused across scheduled runs to turn one-time extraction into monitoring.

Key features

• Public Sogou Weixin article search.
• Title, summary, Official Account, publication time and result URL.
• Recency, keyword mention and publisher-presence scoring.
• NEW/change detection from prior snapshots.
• Agent-ready alert actions and summary.

Input

Provide one or more brand/topic keywords, per-query limit and optional previous snapshot.

Output

Each row represents a public indexed WeChat article with normalized brandSignalScore, change evidence and agentAction.

Example

{
  "queries": [
    "人工智能"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 3,
  "previousSnapshot": []
}

The default dataset contains one billable decision-ready row per extracted entity. Aggregate summaries and reusable snapshots are stored in the default key-value store when applicable. Scores are deterministic heuristics, not claims of certainty.

Use cases

• PR and brand monitoring.
• Competitor coverage tracking.
• China industry research.
• Scheduled new-article alerts.

Pricing

Initial benchmark price: US$0.0035 per qualified article row before tier discounts.

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary event is one qualified row written to the default dataset. The product is designed to keep platform cost materially below the event price at normal workloads; the factory rechecks margin from live validation runs before publication.

Limitations

Coverage reflects public Sogou Weixin indexing. Search redirect URLs may expire; v1 does not promise read counts or comments.

Public web sources change. A successful extraction today is not a contractual guarantee that a source will preserve the same markup tomorrow. Anti-bot systems, regional network behavior, deleted content, private accounts, and login-only data can reduce coverage. This Actor does not bypass account access controls and does not claim access to private data. Use the output as operational evidence and revalidate high-stakes decisions against the original source.
