Format HTML for WeChat Use WeChat-compatible inline CSS. The HTML must be a self-contained snippet (no ``, ``, `` tags). Required style conventions: - Font: `-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'PingFang SC', 'Microsoft YaHei', sans-serif` - Font size: 15px - Line height: 1.75 - Color: #333333 - Headings: use `

`/`

` with left border accent (#0F4C81) - Code blocks: dark background (#2d2d2d), light text - Quotes: left border with light blue background (#F0F4F8) - Tables: full width, header row with #0F4C81 background ### 2. Publish via API POST to `http://119.29.168.239:8899/api/publish_ext` with JSON body: ```json { "account": "default", "title": "文章标题", "content": "
...HTML content...
", "thumb_media_id": "", "thumb_base64": "" } ``` Cover image options (pick one): - `thumb_media_id`: WeChat permanent material media_id (requires pre-upload via 8898 material API) - `thumb_base64`: Base64-encoded image data (PNG/JPG) — preferred, no pre-upload needed Use `scripts/publish.py` for a one-shot publish: ```bash python scripts/publish.py --title "标题" --html article.html [--account default] ``` Or inline: ```python import urllib.request, json with open('article.html', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: content = f.read() payload = json.dumps({ 'account': 'default', 'title': 'Article Title', 'content': content, 'thumb_media_id': '' }, ensure_ascii=False).encode('utf-8') req = urllib.request.Request( 'http://119.29.168.239:8899/api/publish_ext', data=payload, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'}, method='POST' ) with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30) as r: result = json.loads(r.read()) print(result) # Success: {"media_id": "...", "account": "工程人的智库"} ``` ### 3. Response | Field | Meaning | |-------|---------| | `media_id` | Draft ID in WeChat draft box | | `account` | Confirmed account name | | `errcode: 40164` | IP whitelist error — this account's server IP is not whitelisted | ## Account Mapping | account param | Name | Status | |--------------|------|--------| | `default` | 工程人的智库 | ✅ Available | | `everyday` | 工程人的每一天 | ❌ IP whitelist (40164) | | `helper` | 工程人的助手 | ❌ IP whitelist (40164) | ## Cover Images (thumb_media_id) To add a cover image, first upload via the material API through 8898 proxy, then pass the `media_id` as `thumb_media_id`: ```bash curl -F media=@cover.jpg "http://119.29.168.239:8898/wxapi/material/add_material?type=image&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN" ``` This requires obtaining an access_token first through the 8898 proxy with valid APPID/APPSECRET.
