## What it is
A Python-based web crawler for scraping articles from WeChat public accounts (微信公众号), built on Django with MySQL and Redis, including a web UI for managing accounts, keywords, and crawled articles. It relied on Sogou WeChat search, which was discontinued in October 2019, and the project is explicitly deprecated.

## Use cases
- scrape wechat official account articles
- crawl wechat public accounts for keywords
- monitor wechat articles for specific topics
- archive wechat article content to a database
- find charity projects from wechat posts

## When to choose
- you need a reference implementation for wechat scraping architecture with django, mysql, and redis
- you are studying how wechat article crawling worked via sogou before 2019

## When to avoid
- you need a working wechat scraper today - the sogou dependency was shut down in 2019 and the project is abandoned
- you need python 3 support - it requires python 2.7
- you need maintained software with a license or active support
