## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Weibo KOL Finder

Find **Weibo (微博) influencers and KOLs** by keyword or niche — or by who engaged with a specific post — and
get back enriched creator profiles with the contact details you need for outreach. No Weibo account required.

Built for influencer-marketing agencies, brands, and lead-generation teams who build Weibo outreach lists.

### What it does

- **Keyword discovery** — give it niches (美妆博主, 露营, skincare, …) and it collects the distinct accounts
  Weibo surfaces for each (typically 70–100 per keyword, from both user search and the authors of matching posts).
- **Engagement discovery** — give it seed post links and it pulls the accounts that **commented on** or **liked**
  them.
- **Enrichment** — every creator comes with their full profile: followers, verification, location, company,
  influence labels, lifetime engagement, and any **email / WeChat / QQ / phone** found in their bio.
- **Filtering** — keep only creators above a follower threshold, only verified accounts, or only creators that
  expose a contact.

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
| ----- | ----------- |
| `uid`, `screen_name`, `profile_url` | Identity and link |
| `followers_count`, `following_count`, `posts_count` | Reach |
| `verified`, `verified_type`, `verified_reason` | Verification (黄V personal / 蓝V organization) |
| `location`, `ip_location` | Region |
| `company`, `school`, `labels` | Profile detail and influence labels |
| `total_interactions`, `total_likes`, `total_comments`, `total_reposts` | Lifetime engagement |
| `description` | Bio |
| `contacts` | `{ emails, phones, wechat, qq }` parsed from the bio — treat as hints |
| `found_via` | How the creator was found (user_search / post author / commenter / liker) |
| `scraped_at` | Collection time |

### Use cases

- **Influencer outreach lists** — discover beauty/fashion/tech creators in a niche, filter to 100k+ followers
  with a contact, export to your CRM.
- **Competitor audience mining** — feed a competitor's viral post as a seed and collect the creators who engaged.
- **Market mapping** — size and profile the creator landscape for a topic.

### Input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["美妆博主"],
  "minFollowers": 100000,
  "requireContact": true,
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

By engagement on a seed post:

```json
{ "seedPosts": ["https://weibo.com/1669879400/Rkz6zoY6B"], "engagedSource": "commenters", "minFollowers": 10000 }
```

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
| ----- | ---- | ------- | ----- |
| `keywords` | array | — | niches to find creators for (keywords and/or seedPosts required) |
| `seedPosts` | array | — | find accounts that engaged with these posts |
| `engagedSource` | string | commenters | commenters / likers / both |
| `minFollowers` | integer | 0 | follower floor |
| `verifiedType` | string | any | any / all_verified / personal / organization |
| `requireContact` | boolean | false | keep only creators with a bio contact |
| `enrichProfiles` | boolean | true | full profile per creator (off = faster) |
| `maxItems` | integer | 50 | charged per creator |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | none | optional; works without a proxy |

### Notes & limits

- Keyword discovery draws on Weibo's anonymous first page per keyword — combine several keywords to widen the
  net. Seed-post commenters and likers paginate in full.
- `contacts` are extracted from public bio text with pattern matching; always verify before outreach. WeChat IDs
  in particular are written in many disguised forms, so treat them as hints.
- Public, logged-out data only.

### Scheduling, webhooks & AI/MCP

Run on a [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), push results via
[webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks), or call it from AI assistants through the
[Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com).

### FAQ

**Do I need a Weibo account?** No — discovery and enrichment are anonymous.

**Will every creator have an email?** No. Many creators don't publish contacts; use `requireContact` to keep only
those who do.

**Is this legal?** You are responsible for how you use scraped data and contacts. This actor collects only
public profile data; respect Weibo's terms, applicable laws, and personal-data/anti-spam rules before outreach.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Topics to find creators for (Chinese or English), e.g. 美妆博主, 露营, skincare. Each keyword yields ~70-100 distinct accounts from Weibo search.

## `seedPosts` (type: `array`):

Find accounts that engaged with specific posts — their commenters and/or likers. Accepts weibo.com or m.weibo.cn links, bids or numeric IDs.

## `engagedSource` (type: `string`):

For seed posts: collect commenters, likers, or both.

## `minFollowers` (type: `integer`):

Only keep creators with at least this many followers.

## `verifiedType` (type: `string`):

Keep any account, only verified (黄V/蓝V), only personal-verified, or only organization-verified.

## `requireContact` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only creators whose bio exposes an email, WeChat, QQ or phone.

## `enrichProfiles` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each creator's full profile (company, location, labels, lifetime engagement, bio contacts). Turn off for a faster, lighter run.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum creators to return. You are charged per creator.

## `cookie` (type: `string`):

Experimental. A logged-in cookie may surface more creators per keyword. Leave empty for anonymous scraping. Never required.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Works from datacenter IPs without a proxy.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,axlymxp/weibo-kol-finder"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
