I got this message from a relatively new account when trying to login into wx.qq.com:

1203为了你的帐号安全，此微信号已不允许登录网页微信。你可以使用Windows微信或Mac微信在电脑端登录。Windows微信下载地址：https://pc.weixin.qq.com Mac微信下载地址：https://mac.weixin.qq.com

That message seems to indicate that this account is permanently blocked from web wechat. But I can login into desktop (mac) wechat client with that account.

What api is desktop client using? not webapi? Can we try to emulate desktop api?

[letitfly]

Anyone knows where to buy a wechat account that can be used in wechaty? That maybe the only option left to create new bot.

[WuQi]

Infact,I dont know how and where to buy it.

For those developers who want to use Wechaty but be limited by the Web API:

Please have a look at our in-alpha testing Wechaty v0.15, with new Puppet: PuppetPadchat. PuppetPadchat will let you login your bot without any problem.
