info:
  title: WeChat Mini Program Server API (subset) Access Token Login API
  description: 'Subset OpenAPI description for the WeChat (Weixin) Mini Programs server-side

    API hosted at `api.weixin.qq.com`. Covers the foundational endpoints needed

    to bootstrap a Mini Program backend: exchanging a temporary login code for

    a session via `auth.code2Session`, minting an application access token via

    `auth.getAccessToken`, and retrieving a paid-only UnionID via

    `auth.getPaidUnionId`.


    Authentication for these foundational endpoints is keyed on the Mini

    Program''s AppID and AppSecret, passed as query parameters. Subsequent

    business APIs (template messages, content moderation, analytics, QR codes,

    logistics, etc.) require the `access_token` obtained from

    `auth.getAccessToken`.
