The Official Accounts Platform website allows Subscription Accounts to broadcast once per day and Service Accounts to broadcast four times per calendar month. Some Official Account operators with development capabilities can achieve more flexible broadcast capabilities through the advanced broadcast API.

Notes:

1. For verified Subscription Accounts, the broadcast API can be successfully called once per day. The broadcast message can be sent to all users or users under a tag.
2. For verified Service Accounts, developers can call the advanced broadcast API 100 times per day, but users can only receive 4 broadcast messages each month, regardless of whether these messages are sent on the Official Accounts Platform website or via the API. The broadcast messages exceeding the limit (4) cannot be sent to users.
3. Developers can use the preview API to check the message style and typesetting and also send an edited message to the specified user to verify the result.
4. During the broadcast process, the Weixin backend will automatically review the article for originality. Set relevant parameters (send_ignore, etc.) in advance.
5. Developers can set up clientmsgid to avoid repeated pushes.
6. A maximum of 60 requests per minute is allowed for the broadcast API. Requests over the limit will be rejected.
7. Links to articles broadcasted from your account and other Official Accounts can be added in the main body of the article.

The process of broadcasting an article is as follows:

1. Upload the image needed in the article in advance using the "Upload Images in Article" API and get the image URL.
2. Upload the article asset. When you need to use the image, use the image URL obtained in the previous step.
3. Broadcast the article to users under a tag or users in the OpenID list. During the broadcast process, Weixin will review the originality and return the broadcast result.
4. In the above processes, you can preview the article, query the broadcast status, or delete the broadcasted message when necessary.

The process of broadcasting images, texts, and other message types is as follows:

1 To broadcast a text message, directly follow the API description below.
2 To broadcast an image or video message, get the mediaID in advance via the Media Asset Management API.

Notes:

1. If is_to_all is set to true for a broadcast, the successfully sent broadcast message will be included in the history message list of the Official Account in the Weixin app.
2. To prevent exceptions, a verified Subscription Account can only broadcast once by setting is_to_all to true or on the Official Accounts Platform website (whether to all users or to a group) per day. This is to avoid having 2 broadcast messages included in the history message list in one day.
3. Similarly, a Service Account can only broadcast 4 times by setting is_to_all to true and on the Official Accounts Platform website (whether to all users or to a group) per month.
4. If is_to_all is set to false, multiple broadcasts are allowed. However, each user will only receive up to 4 broadcast messages, and these messages will not be included in the history message list.

In addition, developers should know that the media_id of permanent assets in Media Asset Management can be used where media_id is required in the API. Note that the links broadcasted using the same asset are the same, which means that deleting a broadcast will invalidate all the links.

Originality review will be performed before an article is broadcasted

I. The originality review process is added for the Broadcast API

When a developer calls the Broadcast API to broadcast an article, Weixin will compare the article to be broadcasted by the developer with the articles in the Original Works Archive of the Official Accounts Platform. The review results are divided into the following types:

  1. When the article to be broadcasted does not hit any article in the Original Works Archive, it can be broadcasted.

  2. When the article to be broadcasted hits an article in the Original Works Archive:

2.1 It can be broadcasted if the original author allows reposts. When the article is broadcasted, it will be automatically restored to the original style and amarked as a repost with the source indicated.

If you want to change the original content or style, or do not want to display the original author when broadcasting the article, you can contact the original author of the Official Account to obtain authorization.

2.2 It cannot be broadcasted if the original author forbids reposts.

If you still want to repost the article, you can contact the original author of the Official Account to obtain authorization.

II. The send_ignore_reprint parameter is added in the Broadcast API

The send_ignore_reprint parameter is added in the Broadcast API. Developers can set the parameter to specify whether to continue broadcasting an article which is determined to be a repost.

If the send_ignore_reprint parameter is set to 1, when an article is determined to be a repost and the original author allows reposts, the broadcast will continue.

If the send_ignore_reprint parameter is set to 0, when an article is determined to be a repost, the broadcast will be stopped.

The send_ignore_reprint defaults to 0.

For relevant error codes of the broadcast operation, see the Common Error Codes documentation.

# Broadcast Result Event Push

As it takes some time to complete a submitted broadcast task, only a message indicating whether the broadcast task is submitted successfully will be given when the Broadcast API is called. If the task is submitted successfully, an event will be pushed to the URL (callback URL) entered by the developer on the Official Accounts Platform upon the completion of the task.

Note: Since a broadcast task takes a long time to complete, the broadcast result will be pushed when the task is about to be completed. For this reason, the pushed number of recipients may be different from the actual number.

The XML structure for a successful push is as follows, with the result of originality review being included:

Parameter Description
ToUserName The Weixin ID of the Official Account
FromUserName The Weixin ID of the Official Accounts broadcast assistant, which is mphelper.
CreateTime Timestamp of the creation time
MsgType Message type. It is event in this case.
Event Event message. It is MASSSENDJOBFINISH in this case.
MsgID ID of the message broadcasted
Status Broadcast result. Possible values are "send success", "send fail", and "err(num)". However, when the status is "send success", some users may still fail to receive the broadcasted message due to their setting to reject Official Accounts messages or system errors. err(num) indicates the specific reason for review failure, including: err(10001), //Contained ads; err(20001), //Involved politics; err(20004), //Involved social issues; err(20002), //Contained lewd content; err(20006), //Suspected of violating laws and committing crimes; err(20008), //Suspected of fraud; err(20013), //Involved copyright issues; err(22000), //Suspected of mutual promotion; err(21000), //Suspected of other situations; err(30001) //System error occurred during the originality review and the user chose not to broadcast an article determined to be a repost; err(30002) //The originality review determined that the message could not be broadcasted; err(30003) //The originality review determined the article was reposted and the user chose not to broadcast an article determined to be a repost
TotalCount The number of followers under the tag_id or in the openid_list
FilterCount The number of followers to whom the message is to be sent after filtering (the filters include filtering by specific region, filtering by gender, filtering users who set to reject messages, and users who have received 4 messages). In principle, FilterCount = SentCount + ErrorCount.
SentCount The number of followers who have received the message
ErrorCount The number of followers who did not receive the message
ResultList The review result of each single article
ArticleIdx The serial number of the broadcasted article, starting from 1.
UserDeclareState The article status declared by the user

OriginalArticleUrl URL to the similar original article
OriginalArticleType Type of the similar original article
CanReprint Indicates whether repost is allowed
NeedReplaceContent Indicates whether to use the original article instead
NeedShowReprintSource Indicates whether to indicate the original author of the reposted article
CheckState Final review result
CheckState 1 - It is not determined to be reposted and can be broadcasted; 2 - It is determined to be reposted but can be broadcasted; 3 - It is determined to be reposted and cannot be broadcasted

# Using the clientmsgid Parameter to Avoid Repeated Push

  1. The clientmsgid parameter is added in the Broadcast API for developers to set on their own to avoid repeated push.

Before a message is broadcasted, the Weixin backend will check the broadcast record within 24 hours, and reject the broadcast request and return the existing msgid if this clientmsgid exists. You can call the "Query Broadcast Message Sending Status" API to view the status of the broadcast message.

  1. New error codes
Error Code Description
45065 The clientmsgid already has a broadcast record. The returned data contains the msgid of the existing broadcast task.
45066 The clientmsgid retries too frequently. Retry after 1 minute.
45067 The length of the clientmsgid exceeds the limit.
  1. API example and parameter description
{
    "filter":{
       "is_to_all":false,
       "tag_id":2
    },
    "mpnews":{
       "media_id":"123dsdajkasd231jhksad"
    },
     "msgtype":"mpnews",
     "send_ignore_reprint":0,
 	 "clientmsgid":"send_tag_2" 
}

Parameters:

Parameter Required Description
clientmsgid No The broadcast msgid on the developer side, which is limited to 64 bytes. If this is left empty, the backend will use the digest value of the broadcast scope and broadcast content as the clientmsgid value by default.

Response

Response example in case of clientmsgid  conflict: {
    "errcode":45065,
    "errmsg":"clientmsgid exist",
    "msg_id":123456 
}
