What is Weibo Scraper?

Weibo (微博) is where China's news, celebrity, brand and public-opinion stories break first. Weibo Scraper gives you the live hot search list (微博热搜), trending posts across 30+ categories, post details, comments and public profiles as clean rows, without a Weibo account or cookies.

What does it do?

• Hot search (热搜榜): live top 50 with rank, heat score, label (热/新/沸) and topic link
• Trending posts (热门微博) in 30+ categories: hot, realtime, society, finance, stocks, tech, celebrities, sports, games, cars and more
• Posts by URL or id: full text (including long posts), likes, comments, reposts, images, video, topics, region and author
• Comments (on by default for posts): text, likes, reply count, IP region and commenter
• Public profiles: followers, following, posts, verification, bio, location, company, school, join date
• Automatic resilience: switches to Apify Proxy if Weibo rate-limits

Why choose us over cheaper scrapers?

• Honest output: limits are documented, missing data is labeled, never invented
• Clean, consistent schema ready for Excel, Sheets, BI tools or an LLM
• No account risk: no logins, no cookies
• Pay per result with a cost guard; no subscription
• Maintained by IntelScrape and fixed fast when the source changes

Who is it for?

• China trend monitoring: snapshot the hot search list hourly to build a trend history
• Brand & PR monitoring: track reactions to a post or campaign in the comments
• Influencer marketing: verify KOL follower counts and verification before paying
• Finance sentiment: follow the finance and stocks trending feeds
• Journalism & research: archive public opinion around news events
• Cross-border e-commerce: spot rising consumer topics in China early

How to use it

In Apify Console (no code)

1. Click Try for free / Start. The form is prefilled with a working example.
2. Change the inputs (see examples below).
3. Click Start, then export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or open them in Google Sheets.
4. Optional: Schedule the actor to run hourly, daily or weekly.

Via API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/intelscrape~weibo-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "hotSearch", "maxResults": 50}'

Or use the official Apify JavaScript and Python clients:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

for item in client.dataset(run["default_dataset_id"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

With AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) or the IntelScrape MCP Server to Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client, then ask in plain language, e.g. "Run intelscrape/weibo-scraper with the default input and summarise the results."

FAQ

Do I need a Weibo account or cookies?

No. Everything comes from data Weibo shows logged-out visitors. Nothing is logged in.

Can I search Weibo by keyword?

No. Weibo requires a login for keyword search, and this actor never logs in. Use the hot search list, the trending categories, or post URLs instead.

Can I get a user's full timeline?

No. Timelines also require a login. You can get the public profile and any post by URL.

How often does the hot search list change?

Constantly. Schedule the actor every hour (or more often) to build a history.

Are comments included?

Yes, comments are on by default for Trending and Posts modes (up to 10 per post, charged per comment delivered). Hot search and profile rows have no comments.

What does "heat" mean?

Weibo's own popularity score for the hot search keyword at that moment.

Is the IP region real?

It is the region Weibo itself displays (IP属地) for the post or comment.

Is there an official Weibo API?

Weibo's open API requires app approval and login. This actor gives public data without either.

Can I translate the results?

The data is in the original Chinese. Pipe it into any translation step or LLM via the API or MCP.
