Searches WeChat-Search WeChat Channels videos specifically (`video` vertical), with the result page's "duration" filter, "relevance/newest/most-liked" sort, and "time" dropdown. Send `keyword` (Search keyword (1-100 chars)); optional `raw`, `sort`, `cursor`, `offset` and more.

- **Tool id:** `tikhub-api-wechat-search-fetch-search-videos`
- **Provider:** [TikHub](/providers/tikhub)
- **Job:** [Fetch search videos api wechat search](/reference/jobs/api-wechat-search-fetch-search-videos) (`api.wechat-search.fetch-search-videos`)
- **Price:** $0.01 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cursor` | string | no | Pagination cursor, same as universal search: leave empty for the first page; pass back the cursor from the previous response |
| `duration` | string | no | Duration tier (Channels video only): all/0 / short/1 (<5min) / medium/2 (5-10min) / long/3 (20min+); string key or integer. Example: "short" |
| `keyword` | string | yes | Search keyword (1-100 chars). Example: "美食" |
| `offset` | integer | no | Pass 0 for the first page; use cursor to paginate (offset alone does not work) |
| `publish_time` | string | no | Publish time: all/0 / day/1 / week/2 / half_year/3; string key or integer. Example: "week" |
| `raw` | boolean | no | True=raw search response; False=simplified parsed structure |
| `sort` | string | no | Sort: default/0 (relevance) / latest/1 (newest) / hot/2 (most liked); string key or integer. Example: "hot" |

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

```txt
{ code, data: { offset, keyword, results: { ret, data: { ... }[], lang, query, offset, isDivide, direction, timeStamp, isHomePage, pageNumber, resultType, continueFlag, isBoxCardStyle, isAutoPlayVideo, enableQuestionClosely, forbidRefreshLocation }, debug_id, debug_info, business_type, continue_flag }, docs, time, params: { raw, sort, cursor, offset, keyword, duration, publish_time }, router, message, support, cache_url, time_zone, message_zh, request_id, time_stamp, cache_message, cache_message_zh }
```

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"tikhub-api-wechat-search-fetch-search-videos","input":{"keyword":"美食","sort":"hot","duration":"short","publish_time":"week"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {

    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
