Weibo Scraper

Scrape Weibo (微博) in four modes — keyword search, user timeline, post comments, and hot-search trends — with zero configuration. Returns clean, structured data for each record: text, like / comment / repost counts, author info, timestamps, and the canonical URL.

Unofficial. This Actor is not affiliated with, authorized, or endorsed by Weibo (Sina Weibo / 新浪微博) or Sina Corporation. It is an independent tool that retrieves publicly available data via a third-party API. Use it in compliance with Weibo's terms and all applicable laws; you are responsible for how you use the retrieved data.

What it does

• Keyword search — give one or more keywords; the Actor paginates Weibo search results for each. Chinese keywords return the most results.
• User timeline — give one or more numeric Weibo user IDs (uid) to scrape the posts they have published.
• Post comments — give one or more numeric post IDs (mid); one dataset item is pushed per comment.
• Hot-search trends — enable includeHotSearch to scrape the live Weibo hot-search ranking (top ~50 trending topics).

You can combine any of the modes in a single run.

Input

searchKeywords	string[]	["美食"]	Keywords to search. Each is paginated independently.

Notes

• Data is sourced live; Weibo occasionally rate-limits, so the Actor retries transient blocks (Cloudflare 403 / 429 / 5xx) with exponential backoff.
• Item IDs are de-duplicated within a run.
