An open-source WeChat crawler that scrapes articles, reading counts, likes, and comments from WeChat official accounts using a man-in-the-middle proxy approach (mitmproxy). It stores collected data in MySQL with Redis for task caching and supports distributed collection across multiple WeChat clients on all platforms.

Use cases

  • scrape all articles from a WeChat official account
  • monitor WeChat public accounts for new articles daily
  • collect article read counts, likes, and comment counts
  • harvest WeChat article comments for analysis
  • convert temporary WeChat article links to permanent links
  • build a dataset of WeChat公众号 content and engagement metrics
  • run distributed WeChat data collection with multiple accounts

When to choose

  • you need to bulk-collect WeChat official account articles and engagement data
  • you want a self-hosted scraper with MySQL/Redis storage that is easy to integrate
  • you need scheduled daily monitoring of a list of WeChat accounts
  • you want cross-platform support (Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows WeChat clients)

When to avoid

  • you need a fully legal or ToS-compliant data source - the MITM approach risks account bans
  • you only need a small one-off scrape without setting up MySQL, Redis, and proxy certificates
  • you need high real-time performance - the MITM approach has limited timeliness
  • you require an official API or guaranteed long-term stability
