WeChat Channels (视频号) is the short-video feed inside WeChat, reaching the whole WeChat user base, and it is even more closed than the rest of the app: videos only open inside WeChat and there is no web presence to index. Through AgentKey your agent reads public Channels data the same way it reads everything else — find_tools, describe_tool, execute_tool — with several providers behind the scenes, so one route failing does not stop the task.

​
What you can ask

  • “Find WeChat Channels videos about camping from the past week.”

  • “Transcribe this Channels video.”
  • “Is this account live right now, and what did its recent lives look like?”
  • “Search for Channels creators about home fitness.”
  • “帮我看看这个视频号的合集里有哪些视频”

How to use it

Pass the request in plain language and let the router pick the tool:
Both English and Chinese phrasing work, and the platform’s usual English and Chinese names all land here. Always describe_tool before executing — parameters and per-call costs differ between providers, and several tools take Channels’ own identifiers (object ID, nonce ID, v2Name) that earlier calls return.
Building with code? The same capability is available as fixed-contract Scenario Methods with automatic provider failover: social.wechat_channels.post.search, social.wechat_channels.user.posts, social.wechat_channels.user.search. Video detail, comments, live and transcripts are available through the catalog tools above.

FAQ

No. AgentKey holds the upstream access; your agent only needs your AgentKey subscription.
Every call goes to the platform at request time; the realtime detail route in particular reads the video as it stands right now. Nothing is served from a stale archive.
