WeChat Search Skill

Search for WeChat Official Account (微信公众号) articles using a compliant, three-layer approach that prioritizes legal search APIs and falls back to respectful web scraping when needed.

Features

Compliant Design: Prioritizes legal search APIs, respects robots.txt and rate limits
Three-Layer Strategy:
- Primary: OpenClaw web_search (Brave Search API)
- Secondary: Tavily Search API (if Brave unavailable)
- Fallback: Direct page fetching from WeChat search
Recent Results: Returns the 5 most recent articles by default (configurable)
Time Filtering: Support for date range and recency filters
Multiple Output Formats: Text, JSON, and markdown formats available

Prerequisites

OpenClaw Web Tools: Requires
```
web_search
```
,
```

tools to be available
API Keys (optional but recommended):
- Brave Search API Key (for primary search)
- Tavily API Key (for secondary search, already configured in your environment)

Search Strategy Details

Layer 1: OpenClaw Web Search (Brave Search)

Uses Brave Search API with
```
site:mp.weixin.qq.com
```
filter
Fastest and most reliable when API key is configured
Respects search engine's indexing and ranking

Layer 2: Tavily Search API

Activated when Brave Search is unavailable or fails
Uses Tavily's AI-powered search with WeChat site restriction
Provides high-quality, relevant results with good coverage

Layer 3: Direct Web Fetch

Final fallback when both APIs are unavailable
Scrapes WeChat search results directly from搜狗微信搜索
Implements proper delays and respects robots.txt
Parses HTML to extract article metadata

Compliance & Ethics

Respects robots.txt: Checks and follows robots.txt directives
Rate limiting: Minimum 5-second delay between requests
Transparent identification: Clear User-Agent string identifying the bot
Public content only: Only accesses publicly available articles
No data retention: Does not store full article content, only metadata

Error Handling

Automatic retry on network failures (up to 3 attempts)
Graceful fallback between all three search strategies
Clear error messages for debugging
Handles API key missing scenarios gracefully

Future Enhancements

RSS feed integration support
Article content summarization
Author/subscription management
