WeChat Channels (Video Accounts) Developer Surface is one of 16 APIs that [WeChat](https://apis.io/providers/wechat/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Video Accounts, Channels, Live Streaming, Short Video, and Commerce. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

WeChat Channels (视频号) is WeChat's short-video and livestreaming product. The developer surface — exposed through the Mini Programs platform and Channels merchant tools — covers livestream room creation, livestream goods linkage, Channels-driven traffic into Mini Programs, and merchant integrations. There is no fully public OpenAPI; most APIs are gated to qualified Channels merchants and partners.
