## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| object_id | not declared | yes | not declared | The numeric ID of the WeChat Channels video whose comments you want, such as `15039881603147501275`, taken from the `id` of a `user_posts` or `video` row, or the video's share link (`https://weixin.qq.com/sph/...`). |
| page_token | not declared | no | not declared | Page token for `comments`. Leave it out for the first page, then pass back the previous response's `next_page_token` exactly as received, for the same video. Each page is one call; the last page has no `next_page_token`. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| id | Video ID (a digit string) on user_posts and video rows; pass it as `object_id` to video or comments. On comments, the comment ID. |
| text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
| like_count | Likes: the video's on search, user_posts and video rows, the comment's on comments rows. On user_posts and video, likes above 10,000 are precise only to the hundreds, always ending in 02 (20002 is about 20,000); from 100,000 up it is always 100002 (the app only shows 100k+). |
| posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
| author_username | The author's WeChat Channels account ID, v2_...@finder (user_posts / video); pass it as `username` to user_posts. |
| author_name | Author's display name. |
| author_avatar_url | The commenter's avatar link (comments). |
| ip_location | The commenter's IP region as Channels displays it, in Chinese characters or in English, such as Beijing (comments). |
| next_page_token | platform-native meaning |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
