WeChat Channels Competitor Content Analytics Report

Analyze competitor WeChat Channels videos and turn raw video rows into creator performance, winning topics, title formats, top-video contribution, sampled growth drivers, and evidence-linked content gaps.

Unofficial tool. This Actor is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Tencent, WeChat, Weixin, or any upstream data provider.

This is not another video scraper

The report includes:

• competitor and creator video counts and available engagement
• sample engagement share and average engagement
• the share of each creator's engagement contributed by its top video
• top topics and title patterns by creator
• topic and title-format performance across the full sample
• top and latest video evidence
• comparison with an uploaded, Dataset, or saved previous snapshot
• deterministic explanations of which sampled videos and topics contributed to observed changes
• ranked content opportunities combining demand and relative content scarcity
• explicit data-quality and causality warnings

Data modes

1. Static preview — 12 synthetic videos across three example competitors, without triggering the $4.99 custom report event.
2. Live collection — search topics and resolve competitor accounts through the separate sian.agency/wechat-channels-scraper.
3. Apify Datasets — analyze one or more existing video datasets.
4. Uploaded videos — paste customer-owned records and an optional baseline.

Live upstream collection is billed separately by Apify.

Pricing

One successful live, Dataset, or uploaded-data report costs $4.99 and analyzes up to 100 unique videos. The built-in static preview does not trigger the custom report event; Apify may still show the small Actor-start or platform usage charge. If no usable videos are collected or supplied, no paid report is created.

Important limits

• Engagement is the sum of available likes, comments, favorites, and shares; absent counters are not invented.
• Search and account-video coverage can be incomplete.
• “Growth drivers” describe contribution inside the sample, not the WeChat recommendation algorithm or causal effects.
• Content-opportunity scores are directional and confidence-adjusted.
• Account names should be exact or distinctive for reliable competitor labels.
