Error message

Sogou Weixin returned article cards without required title or URL

What it means

Thrown when Sogou returned result cards but `invalidCount > 0`, i.e. some parsed article cards lacked a required title or URL. The library refuses to return a partial result set to keep output trustworthy. This indicates the extraction found DOM nodes matching the card selector whose fields could not be populated — usually a page-structure drift or ad/promo cards with different markup.

Solutions

1. Retry — if transient (slow rendering), a second attempt often parses cleanly
2. Upgrade the CLI so its selectors handle the new card variants
3. Try a different page number (e.g. page 2) where ad cards are less common
4. Report the failing page markup to the maintainers if it persists

try { rows = await weixinSearch(q); }
catch (e) { if (String(e.message).includes('without required title')) return retryOnceWithDifferentPage(); throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Sogou mixes ad cards or non-article cards into the result list whose selectors don't yield title/url; partial DOM changes break field extraction for some cards; lazy-loaded content not rendered when evaluate ran.

Common situations: Sponsored results appearing on the first page of a popular keyword; Sogou testing a new card layout for a subset of results; slow connections where images/lazy fields haven't populated.
