Read the registered owner behind a WeChat Official Account: company or operator name, entity type, verification status and date, registration country and date, and authorized agents. Values come back only when WeChat shows them; they do not replace a registry check and reveal no admin credentials.

Price $5.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.005556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra WeChat Official Accounts Account owner endpoint (wechat_oa/account_principal).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to wechat_oa and action to account_principal, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - account: Identifies the target WeChat Official Account using its WeChat ID, raw ID (starting with gh_), or a resolvable account/article URL. It does not accept personal WeChat IDs.
- Returns one object. Main fields: account_id (Official Account ID (its WeChat ID)), ghid, name, description, company_name, owner_name, customer_type, verify_status, verify_type, verified_at, registered_country, registered_at; 15 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=wechat_oa.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "wechat_oa",
  "action": "account_principal",
  "params": {
    "account": "36氪"
  }
}
- Price: $5.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

Official references

Used only to check objects and terms. They do not imply authorization or endorsement of EveryInfra by the platform.

  • WeChat: Account Type, Verification Type, and Principal Entity Name ↗

    Official WeChat documentation separately details account types, verification types, and principal entity names; account display names are distinct from principal entity names. This reference only aligns terminology, does not imply official account management authorization, and does not copy WeChat access_token or appid values into parameters for this API.
