Contents[hide] |
Introduction
The WeChat Official Account Admin Platform provides developers with a Message API to manage incoming messages and reply logic.
Apply for Message API
Click Apply and fill in a name, phone and email for a contact person, as well as a URL pointing to your server and a token. The token is used to generate a signature for communication between your app and WeChat.
URL Access
When the application is submitted, a GET request will be sent to the URL provided above with the 4 parameters below:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
signature | signature for communication encryption |
timestamp | time stamp |
nonce | a random number |
echostr | a random string |
You should check whether the HTTP request is from WeChat by verifying the signature. If the signature is correct, you should return the echostr.
The signature will be generated in the following way using the token (that you provided), timestamp and nonce.
1. Sort the 3 values of token, timestamp and nonce alphabetically. 2. Combine the 3 parameters into one string, encrypt it using SHA-1. 3. Compare the SHA-1 digest string with the signature from the request. If they are the same, the access request is from WeChat.
Pushing Messages
When a WeChat user sends a message to an Official Account, WeChat Official Account Admin Platform will POST it to you via the URL you provided.
