Quick start: Python

pip install -U apify-client

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("serenido/wechat-official-account-scraper").call(run_input={    "keywords": [        "咖啡",        "人工智能"    ],    "maxArticlesPerKeyword": 20,    "fullText": True})
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():    print(item)

Quick start: JavaScript (Node.js)

npm install apify-client

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("serenido/wechat-official-account-scraper").call({    "keywords": [        "咖啡",        "人工智能"    ],    "maxArticlesPerKeyword": 20,    "fullText": true});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();console.log(items);

Quick start: one HTTP call

Runs the tool and returns the rows in one request. Good for runs under 5 minutes; for bigger runs use the Python or JavaScript example.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/serenido~wechat-official-account-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"keywords": ["咖啡", "人工智能"], "maxArticlesPerKeyword": 20, "fullText": true}'

Get your token in Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations.

Use it from AI apps (MCP)

Any app that supports remote MCP servers (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and others) can run this tool for you. Add this server URL: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=serenido/wechat-official-account-scraper. Your Apify account connects on first use. Example config for Cursor:

{  "mcpServers": {    "apify": {      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=serenido/wechat-official-account-scraper"    }  }}

Input example

{  "keywords": [    "咖啡",    "人工智能"  ],  "maxArticlesPerKeyword": 20,  "fullText": true}

Also: articleUrls (mp.weixin.qq.com/s/... links), accountName, publishedWithinDays, and fullText: false for a faster list without the text. All options are listed on the input page.
