Look up WeChat Official Accounts by keyword, up to 400 per call, with name, WeChat ID alias, description, avatar, verification flag and the gh_ and __biz identifiers. A match does not prove legal identity or that anyone subscribes to the account.
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 search endpoint (wechat_oa/account_search).
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_search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- keyword: Specifies the search term across WeChat Official Account actions, including searching articles (article_search), accounts (account_search), mini programs (mini_program_search), search auto-suggestions (search_suggestions…
- Optional parameters:
- limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 400. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: account_id (Official Account ID (its WeChat ID)), ghid, name, description, alias, avatar_url, verify_flag, biz.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "wechat_oa",
"action": "account_search",
"params": {
"keyword": "科技"
}
}
- 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.Request parameters

Response example
There is no real sample for these example parameters yet: this shows the response shape and fields from the contract, with … as placeholders. It is not the result of a real call.

}Response fields
Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
account_id | Official Account ID (its WeChat ID). |
ghid | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
name | Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities. |
description | Summary or description, usually shorter than text. |
alias | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
avatar_url | Avatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire. |
verify_flag | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
biz | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
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: Official Account Nickname, WeChat ID, and Original ID ↗
WeChat documentation defines nick_name, alias, and user_name as the nickname, user-configured WeChat ID, and original ID respectively, where alias may be empty. In search results on this page, name, account_id, and ghid must be verified individually and not treated as identical strings.
