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.

  ],
  "maxArticlesPerKeyword": 20,
