WeChat Channels Share Downloader

Resolve and download WeChat Channels / 微信视频号 share links directly, using the online sph resolver and curl. Use when the user wants no local install and no local proxy startup.

wx_channels_download

Use this skill only for direct https://weixin.qq.com/sph/... share-link resolution and download. It is intentionally scoped to the no-install, no-local-proxy path.

Boundaries

• Only use this for content the user is allowed to access and download.
• Do not bypass paywalls, private access controls, account restrictions, or platform security.
• Do not start the local proxy, install certificates, change system proxy, run sudo, deploy Cloudflare, or use WeChat PC injection flows for this skill.
• If the user asks for WeChat PC download-button injection, say this skill does not cover that path.

Direct Download

For a WeChat Channels share link, run:

SKILL_DIR="$(dirname "$(openclaw skills info wx-channels-download | awk -F'Path: ' '/Path:/ {print $2}' | sed 's#^~#'"$HOME"'#')")"
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/download_sph.sh" "https://weixin.qq.com/sph/..."

Optional filename:

bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/download_sph.sh" "https://weixin.qq.com/sph/..." "video.mp4"

Use h265 when requested:

WX_CHANNELS_QUALITY=h265 bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/download_sph.sh" "https://weixin.qq.com/sph/..." "video_h265.mp4"

The script calls the online resolver at https://sph.litao.workers.dev/api/fetch_video_profile, extracts h264VideoInfo.videoUrl by default, then downloads the returned media URL with curl. Output goes to ~/Downloads.

Direct Media URL

If the user already gives a direct finder.video.qq.com/... media URL:

curl -fL -o "$HOME/Downloads/video.mp4" "<video-url>"

Source Notes

Core facts are derived from upstream README, docs, and CLI source at commit 6fc6cfec01f6ee38c40c9534ff89680fba50ca53 checked on 2026-06-08. This skill uses the upstream online resolver endpoint and does not bundle or start the desktop proxy binary.
