API permissions vary depending on Official Account types, as shown in the following table. Note:
An Official Account verified by Tencent Weibo does not mean it is also verified by Weixin, so it does not have access to APIs for Official Accounts that have passed Weixin Verification.
Weixin Verification is divided into qualification verification and name verification. An Official Account can access the APIs after it passes qualification verification.
