{/* Generated by scripts/generate-api-reference.mjs from data/api-reference.json. Do not edit. */}

Runs a WeChat Search (Sou Yi Sou) query. Send `keyword` (1 to 100 characters) and optional `business_type`, `sort` and `publish_time`; only all, account, article, video and sticker currently return results. To page, pass `cursor` from the previous response, since `offset` alone does not work. Set a 30 second timeout.

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

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `business_type` | string | no | Vertical key (18 total). **Verified to return data**: all / account / article / video / sticker. The rest (underline / encyclopedia / live_stream / comment / listen / news / photos / book / moments / image / mini_game / weixin_index / ai_search) are gated server-side per account & region and currently always come back empty (count=0 plus a no_more message, still billed as a normal call). Use the `categories` field of an `all` search for the authoritative per-account tab l.... Example: "account" |
| `cursor` | string | no | Pagination cursor: leave empty for the first page; for the next page pass back the cursor returned in the previous response |
| `keyword` | string | yes | Search keyword (1-100 chars). Example: "人民日报" |
| `offset` | integer | no | Pass 0 for the first page; use cursor to paginate (offset alone does not work, it returns the first page every time) |
| `publish_time` | string | no | Publish time (result page 'time' dropdown, common): 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 (result page 'sort' dropdown, common to all verticals): 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: { lang, offset, isDivide, direction, byStepText, isHomePage, pageNumber, loadingText, continueFlag, isBoxCardStyle, isAutoPlayVideo, enableQuestionClosely, forbidRefreshLocation }, debug_id, debug_info, business_type, continue_flag }, docs, time, params: { raw, sort, cursor, offset, keyword, publish_time, business_type }, 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>`.
