FAQPage Schema
How do I convert WeChat public account articles to clean Markdown?

To convert WeChat articles to Markdown, provide the mp.weixin.qq.com URL to the skill. It fetches the page using iOS User-Agent spoofing, strips page noise, and saves the title, cover image, and body text as a clean Markdown file.

Can I batch download multiple WeChat article links at once?

Yes, you can batch download WeChat articles by providing multiple URLs or a text file of links. The skill processes each link individually, saving articles to separate Markdown files and tracking results for resume-safe runs.

What is the best way to extract full body text and images from mp.weixin.qq.com?

The best way to extract full body text and images from mp.weixin.qq.com is using a skill that promotes lazy-loaded images and strips HTML noise. This approach reliably fetches the title, cover image, and complete article body.

Why does WeChat article scraping fail with rate limits or captcha friction?

WeChat article scraping fails due to server rate limits and captcha friction. This skill handles these constraints by using retry and back-off handling with iOS User-Agent spoofing, ensuring successful content extraction over time.

Do I need a text file of links to scrape WeChat posts for later analysis?

No, you do not need a text file to scrape WeChat posts; you can start with a single URL. However, using a batch file of links allows you to archive a reading list and convert research links into Markdown notes for later analysis.
