## What it is
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
