Look up a WeChat Channels account by its v2_...@finder ID. Get display name, bio, avatar, region, number of videos and collections, live-stream hours, verification note and linked WeChat accounts such as an Official Account. Channels profiles usually hide follower counts, so follower_count is often missing; like, favorite and share totals are not provided.

Price $8 per 1,000 requests ($0.008 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra WeChat Channels Details endpoint (wechat_channels/profile).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to wechat_channels and action to profile, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - username: The WeChat Channels account ID for profile, in the form v2_...@finder, taken from the author_username of a user_posts or video row, or the channel ID starting with sph shown on the channel page, such as sphi9BjV8GK0Zsl.
- Returns one object. Main fields: username, display_name, bio, avatar_url, region (Region shown on the account profile (pr…), follower_count (Follower count (profile)), post_count (Number of videos the account has publis…), collection_count (Number of collections the account has c…), live_duration_hours (Live-stream hours on the account profil…), verified_reason (Verification description (profile)), linked_accounts (Other WeChat accounts linked to this Ch…).
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "wechat_channels",
  "action": "profile",
  "params": {
    "username": "v2_060000231003b20faec8c7ea8d11c3d4c907e83db0775f87c9449acd6a89298e462485cc23a8@finder"
  }
}
- Price: $8 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.
