## 前置要求

**⚠️ 重要发现**: 使用 `?scene=1` 参数可绕过微信登录要求（已验证）。如果抓取失败，再考虑登录微信。

### 方案 A：Chrome DevTools 模式（推荐，最可靠）

**大多数情况下无需登录**，如果抓取失败：
1. 在 Chrome 浏览器中访问 https://mp.weixin.qq.com
2. 扫码完成微信登录
3. 保持浏览器窗口打开

### 方案 B：Playwright 模式

```bash
pip install playwright
playwright install chromium

Option C: Adaptive mode (recommended new choice)

pip install "scrapling[ai]"

Scrapling is designed for complex anti-scraping pages; it is lighter than Playwright and more stable than requests.

Option D: Fast mode

pip install requests beautifulsoup4 lxml

Usage

CLI usage

# 基础用法（默认输出到当前目录）
python3 scripts/scraper.py "<url>"

# 下载图片到本地
python3 scripts/scraper.py "<url>" --download-images

# 指定策略和输出格式
python3 scripts/scraper.py "<url>" \
    --strategy reliable \
    --format markdown \
    --output ./articles \
    --download-images

# 批量抓取
python3 scripts/scraper.py --batch urls.txt -o ./articles/ --delay 5

# 搜索公众号文章
python3 scripts/search.py "关键词" -n 10 --format markdown

Strategy Selection Guide

Strategy Use case Prerequisites Reliability Speed
fast Quickly scrape public articles requests + BeautifulSoup ⭐⭐ ⚡⚡⚡
adaptive Needs adaptive anti-scraping (recommended） Install Scrapling ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⚡⚡
stable Needs full rendering Install Playwright ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⚡
reliable Needs the highest reliability Chrome DevTools ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⚡
zero_dep Pure standard library, no dependencies required Python standard library ⭐⭐ ⚡⚡⚡
jina_ai Uses the jina.ai service No installation required, relies on the network ⭐⭐⭐ ⚡⚡

Default strategy: The system automatically tries in the order fast → adaptive → stable → reliable → zero_dep , prioritizing the strategy that succeeds fastest.

When to specify a strategy?

  • Scraping important articles → specify -s adaptive or -s reliable
  • Fast batch scraping → specify -s fast
  • Frequent CAPTCHAs → specify -s adaptive or -s reliable

Content Status Codes

Status Code Meaning Recovery Suggestion
ok Scraping succeeded -
blocked Anti-scraping verification triggered Use the reliable strategy, or wait 5 minutes and retry
no_mp_url Invalid WeChat article link Check the URL format
fetch_error Network request failed Check the network connection
parse_empty Parsing result is empty The article may have been deleted or requires special handling
need_mcp MCP mode required Use Chrome DevTools MCP to scrape

Using in Claude Code

User: 抓取这篇微信文章 https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxx
Claude: 使用 Chrome DevTools MCP 抓取:
        1. 导航到文章页面（自动添加 ?scene=1）
        2. 滚动触发懒加载
        3. 提取内容
        4. 保存到 articles/文章标题.md

Actual invocation code:

// 步骤 1: 导航到文章（自动添加 ?scene=1）
mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page({
  type: "url",
  url: "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxx?scene=1"
});

// 步骤 2: 执行提取脚本
mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script({
  function: extractArticle  // 见 scripts/extract.js
});

Search discovery

# 搜索公众号文章
python3 scripts/search.py "关键词" -n 10 --format markdown

# 按时间筛选（day/week/month/year）
python3 scripts/search.py "新能源汽车" --time week -n 20

# 解析真实微信链接
python3 scripts/search.py "关键词" -n 5 -r

Batch download images from existing Markdown

python3 scripts/images.py "文章.md" --output ./article-images/

Web management interface (React + TypeScript)

Tech stack

  • Frontend: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS + TanStack Query + Recharts
  • Backend: FastAPI + SQLite + WebSocket

Advanced features

Comment collection

Collect comments from WeChat official account articles (the article must have comments enabled):

# 采集单篇文章的评论
python3 scripts/comments.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxx"

# 保存为 JSON
python3 scripts/comments.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxx" --format json --output comments.json

# 只显示热评
python3 scripts/comments.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxx" --top 10

Competitor comparison: Tools such as wcplusPro rarely support comment collection; this is our unique feature.

RSS Feed generation

Generate an RSS feed for scraped articles, supporting subscription in RSS readers:

# 生成主 RSS feed（包含所有文章）
python3 scripts/rss_generator.py --db wechat_articles.db

# 生成特定作者的 RSS
python3 scripts/rss_generator.py --author "差评" --name "pingwest-feed"

# 生成特定分类的 RSS
python3 scripts/rss_generator.py --category "科技" --name "tech-feed"

# 为所有作者生成单独的 feed
python3 scripts/rss_generator.py --all-authors

# 为所有分类生成单独的 feed
python3 scripts/rss_generator.py --all-categories

# 输出摘要而非全文
python3 scripts/rss_generator.py --summary --limit 100

Web API:

GET /api/rss/wechat-articles          # 获取主 RSS feed
GET /api/rss/wechat-articles?author=xxx   # 按作者筛选
GET /api/rss/wechat-articles?category=xxx # 按分类筛选
GET /api/rss                          # 列出所有可用 feeds

Competitor comparison: Only very few competitors support RSS export, and the functionality is rudimentary.

MCP server

Run as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, for clients such as Claude Desktop to call:

# 启动 MCP 服务器
python3 scripts/mcp_server.py

# 配置 Claude Desktop config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wechat-scraper": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/scripts/mcp_server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Provided tools:

  • read_wechat_article: Read WeChat article content
  • search_wechat_articles: Search WeChat official account articles
  • search_wechat_accounts: Search official account accounts

Competitor comparison: This is aunique MCP integration, and no competitor supports it.

Official account monitoring subscription

Subscribe to official accounts and automatically monitor new article publications:

# 添加订阅
python3 scripts/monitor.py add "差评" --wechat-id "chaping321"

# 列出所有订阅
python3 scripts/monitor.py list

# 手动检查更新
python3 scripts/monitor.py check

# 生成 RSS feed
python3 scripts/monitor.py rss

# 删除订阅
python3 scripts/monitor.py remove "差评"

Automation (add to crontab):

# 每 30 分钟检查一次
*/30 * * * * cd /path/to/wechat-article-scraper && python3 scripts/monitor.py check --notify

Competitor comparison: Tools such as wcplusPro do not provide monitoring subscription functionality.

Content quality scoring

Automatically evaluate the quality of scraping results:

from quality import ContentValidator

validator = ContentValidator()
score = validator.validate(article_data)

print(f"总分: {score.total_score}")  # 0-100
print(f"等级: {score.grade}")        # excellent/good/fair/poor/invalid
print(f"问题: {score.issues}")
print(f"警告: {score.warnings}")

Scoring dimensions:

  • Title score (0-25): length, completeness
  • Content score (0-50): length, noise ratio, duplicate content
  • Metadata score (0-15): author, time, link
  • Image score (0-10): quantity, validity

Competitor comparison: No competitor provides automatic quality scoring.

AI smart summary

Use LLM (Claude/OpenAI/DeepSeek/Tongyi Qianwen) to automatically generate article summaries:

# 设置 API Key（选择其中一个）
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key"      # Claude
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"         # OpenAI
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your-key"       # DeepSeek
export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY="your-key"      # 通义千问

# 生成单篇文章摘要
python3 scripts/summarizer.py --title "文章标题" --content-file article.md

# 从数据库读取文章并生成摘要
python3 scripts/summarizer.py --db wechat_articles.db --article-id 123

# 批量处理
python3 scripts/summarizer.py --batch articles.json --delay 1.0

# 输出为 Markdown 格式
python3 scripts/summarizer.py --content-file article.md --format markdown

# 指定提供商
python3 scripts/summarizer.py --content-file article.md --provider deepseek

Output example:

{
  "title": "文章标题",
  "summary": "这是文章的3-5句话摘要...",
  "key_points": ["要点1", "要点2", "要点3"],
  "tags": ["人工智能", "投资", "科技"],
  "sentiment": "positive",
  "reading_time": 5,
  "model": "deepseek/deepseek-chat"
}

Competitor comparison: No competitor supports AI summary generation。

│
├─ 指定策略？
│  ├─ 是 → 优先使用该策略
│  └─ 否 → 按 fast → adaptive → stable → reliable → zero_dep → jina_ai 顺序尝试
│
├─ 失败？
│  ├─ 是 → 自动降级到下一策略（带重试）
│  └─ 否 → 返回成功结果
│
└─ 全部失败 → 返回错误代码和恢复建议


### 重试机制

每种策略默认重试 3 次，每次间隔递增：
- 第 1 次失败后：等待 0.5s
- 第 2 次失败后：等待 1.0s
- 第 3 次失败后：等待 1.5s

同时自动轮换 User-Agent，提高成功率。

## 错误代码与恢复

| 错误代码 | 错误描述 | 恢复操作 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| E001 | 未找到文章内容 | 检查 URL 是否正确，文章是否被删除 |
| E002 | 触发反爬验证 | 尝试使用 reliable 策略，或等待 5 分钟后重试 |
| E003 | 登录态过期 | 重新访问 https://mp.weixin.qq.com 扫码登录 |
| E004 | 网络超时 | 检查网络连接，或增加超时参数 |
| E005 | 策略全部失败 | 检查依赖是否安装，或报告问题 |

## 技术实现

### 关键技巧 1：?scene=1 参数（绕过登录）

**已验证**: 使用 `?scene=1` 参数可以在无登录状态下获取文章内容。

```python
# 自动处理 URL
if '?' not in url:
    url = url + '?scene=1'
elif 'scene=' not in url:
    url = url + '&scene=1'

Key technique 2: OG metadata fallback

When WeChat-specific selectors fail, automatically use Open Graph metadata:

# OG 元数据提取
og_title = soup.find('meta', property='og:title')
og_author = soup.find('meta', property='og:article:author')
og_time = soup.find('meta', property='og:article:published_time')

Key technique 3: Lazy-loaded image extraction

// 提取真实图片 URL
const realSrc = img.getAttribute('data-src') || img.src;
if (realSrc && !realSrc.includes('data:image/svg+xml')) {
    images.push({ src: realSrc, alt: img.alt });
}

Key technique 4: Image-paragraph association

// 智能识别图片与段落的关系
images.push({
    src: realSrc,
    paragraphIndex: currentParagraphIndex,  // 关联到段落
    isContentImage: width > 200 || height > 200
});

Key technique 5: Decorative image filtering

# 过滤规则
- SVG 占位符: data:image/svg+xml
- 装饰图路径: yZPTcMGWibvsic9Obib
- 尺寸过小: < 50px

Key technique 6: UA rotation

USER_AGENTS = [
    'Chrome 120 (Mac)',
    'Chrome 120 (Windows)',
    'Safari 17 (Mac)',
    'Firefox 121 (Windows)',
    'Chrome 120 (Linux)',
    'iPhone Safari',
    'iPad Safari',
]

Failed approach log (DO NOT ATTEMPT)

Approach Failure mode Root cause Lessons learned
WebFetch direct scraping Returns an "environment abnormal" verification page WeChat anti-scraping detects non-browser UA Must use a real browser or a high-quality UA
Snapshot method Images are placeholder SVGs Lazy loading not triggered, data-src not converted Must scroll the page to trigger loading
opencli exploration No WeChat CLI available WeChat has not opened a public API Do not waste time looking for a CLI that does not exist
curl/wget Blocked and returned a verification page Missing browser cookies and UA Command-line tools cannot bypass modern anti-scraping
r.jina.ai service Occasional timeouts Third-party services are unstable Use as a fallback, do not rely on it

Limitations and boundaries

Cases that cannot be scraped

  • Article deleted or removed for violations
  • Content that requires paid reading (only the preview can be scraped)
  • For videos, only the URL and cover can be extracted; the video file cannot be downloaded

Image Processing Limitations

  • Image URLs are time-limited (30 days by default); for long-term storage, it is recommended to enable --download-images
  • WeChat CDN images may contain watermarks
  • GIF animations may only save the first frame

Batch Crawling Limitations

  • Sogou Search has rate limits; an interval of 2 seconds or more is recommended
  • A large number of requests from the same IP in a short period may trigger a CAPTCHA
  • It is recommended that a single batch not exceed 50 articles

Batch Crawling Example

#!/bin/bash
# 批量抓取脚本 (batch_scrape.sh)

URLS_FILE="urls.txt"
OUTPUT_DIR="./articles"
mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR"

count=0
while IFS= read -r url; do
    [[ -z "$url" ]] && continue
    count=$((count + 1))
    echo "[$count] 抓取: $url"

    python3 scripts/scraper.py "$url" \
        --strategy adaptive \
        --output "$OUTPUT_DIR" \
        --download-images

    # 间隔 3 秒避免风控
    sleep 3
done < "$URLS_FILE"

echo "完成: 共抓取 $count 篇文章"

Batch Crawling Best Practices：

  1. Use adaptive strategy to ensure success rate
  2. Use a 3-5 second interval to avoid triggering risk controls
  3. It is recommended that a single batch not exceed 50 articles
  4. Use --download-images to avoid image URLs expiring
  5. Prepare a URL list file, one link per line
