The WeChat Scraper Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, fetch WeChat articles and public account data for you. Each module is one brick of that chain: here, 14 actions and 1 search, with no trigger of their own.
Content watch for a marketing team. Search WeChat Articles finds articles on a topic, then Get a WeChat Article Content Detail pulls the text of each one so it lands in the tool where your team reads and tags it.
A profile of a brand's public account. Query a Public Account locates the account, and the Query a Public Account Basic Information and Query a Public Account Entity modules fill in who stands behind it, ready to paste into a partner file or a CRM record.
Engagement reporting. Get a WeChat Article Interaction Data and Get a WeChat Article Comment List collect the reactions around a given article, so an analyst can compare posts without opening WeChat one by one.
A word of caution: Make itself flags this app as having limited documentation, because little public information exists about it. The module names are all you get, so test every module with Run once before you trust its output. If you are new to the editor, the Make training covers the basics, and the n8n vs Make comparison helps if you are still choosing a tool.
In a scenario, add any WeChat Scraper module, then click Create a connection. A connection is your WeChat Scraper account linked to Make once and reused by every module of the app afterward.
Give the connection a name if you like, which helps when several accounts coexist. Then either authorize Make on the page WeChat Scraper opens, or paste the key the service gives you, depending on what the window asks for.
Click Save. The connection now appears in the module's dropdown, and every other WeChat Scraper module in any scenario can pick it without asking you for the key again.
GoalWhen the scenario runs on its schedule, Make searches WeChat for articles and fetches the full content of each result.
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module. Since this app has no trigger, the scenario starts on a schedule instead.
Type WeChat Scraper in the search box, pick Search WeChat Articles and click Create a connection to link your account, then fill in the module fields.
Click the + on the right of the search, add Get a WeChat Article Content Detail and map the article coming from the previous module. A bundle, one item passing from module to module, carries each article.
Click Run once. Make executes the scenario one time, and a bubble above each module shows the bundles it received, so you can see whether the search returned what you expected.
Open the clock on the first module to set Scheduling, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on one bundle counts as one operation on your plan.
WeChat Scraper gives you 15 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
