Installation

# Recommended: uv tool (fast, isolated)

Or from source:

git clone git@github.com:jackwener/wechat-article-to-markdown.git
cd wechat-article-to-markdown
uv sync

Usage

# Installed CLI
wechat-article-to-markdown "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxxxxx"

# Run in repo with uv
uv run wechat-article-to-markdown "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxxxxx"

# Backward-compatible local entry
uv run main.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxxxxx"

Output structure:

output/
└── <article-title>/
    ├── <article-title>.md
    └── images/
        ├── img_001.png
        ├── img_002.png
        └── ...

Testing

# Unit tests (default CI path)
uv run --with pytest pytest -q -m "not e2e"

# Live E2E against real WeChat articles
WECHAT_E2E_URLS="https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Y7dyRC7CJ09miHWU6LBzBA,https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxxxxx" \
  uv run --with pytest pytest -q -m e2e -s

e2e tests require network and browser runtime, so they run via manual GitHub Actions workflow .github/workflows/e2e.yml.
