Reliable WeChat Official Account article scraper without account bans

A developer asks how to scrape tech-focused WeChat Official Account articles for personal content feeds (à la aihot) without triggering WeChat's ban controls, and whether a Laya + computer-use agent approach is viable. No robust sanctioned pipeline exists, so indie developers keep reinventing fragile solutions — a recurring pain in the Chinese dev community.

The specific problem is not crowded: related open-source work is essentially absent, and the large npm ecosystem appears general-purpose rather than aimed at WeChat Official Account scraping. Demand signals are thin, so this is worth entering only if you can reach affected developers directly and validate willingness to pay before building deeply.
