## 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 Scraper - Hot Search, Posts, Comments & Profiles (微博)

Scrape **Weibo** (新浪微博), China's biggest public social network, without login, cookies or an API key. Get the
**hot search board (微博热搜)** with heat scores, the trending feed, posts for any keyword or #hashtag#, user profiles with
their latest posts, and any post with its **comments and replies** - all in one run. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or
call it as an API.

### What you get

- **Posts**: full text (long posts expanded), time, author (id, name, verification, followers), likes, comments,
  reposts, region it was posted from, device, images, video, hashtag topics, original post for reposts, ad flag.
- **Comments**: text, likes, reply count, time, commenter IP region, author, and replies linked to their comment.
- **Hot search**: rank, topic, heat, category, label (热 / 新 / 沸 / 爆), time it entered the board, search link.
- **Profiles**: followers, following, posts, verification, bio, location, IP region, registration date, school,
  company, sunshine credit and the influence labels Weibo shows (influence index, readers, interactions).

### Why this scraper

- **No cookies needed** - not even for user timelines, which other Weibo scrapers ask you to log in for.
- **Everything in one run**: hot search + hot feed + keywords + users + post links together, no "operation" per run.
- **Deep comments**: pages through the comments of a post (most popular first) and their replies.
- **Low price** per row (see Pricing); no browser, fast runs.

### Use cases

- Social listening and brand monitoring in China; crisis and PR tracking.
- Daily trend tracking from the hot search board (schedule it every hour).
- KOL / influencer research: followers, verification, influence labels, latest posts and engagement.
- Comment datasets for sentiment analysis and AI training.

Every row has `type` (`post`, `comment`, `profile` or `hot-search`), `source`, the `input` that found it and
`scrapedAt`. Dates are ISO 8601 in UTC.

### Run it on a schedule and connect it to your tools

**Schedule:** in Apify Console open *Schedules → Create*, pick this actor and your input, and set it to run
every Monday at 07:00 (your time zone) for a fresh dataset on a fixed day. Each run returns the full, current result set as a new dataset.

**Integrations** (Actor → *Integrations* tab, no code):

- **Google Sheets** — append every run's rows to a sheet.
- **Make, Zapier, n8n** — start the actor from a scenario/zap/workflow and use the rows in the next steps.
- **Webhook** — get a POST to your endpoint when a run succeeds, then download the dataset.
- **Slack / email** — notify your team when a scheduled run finishes.

**AI agents (MCP)** — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client can run it as a tool: add the Apify MCP
server `https://mcp.apify.com?actors=kalilfagundes.w/weibo-scraper` (sign in with your Apify account) and ask for the data in
plain language. The agent fills the input from the input schema and reads the dataset back.

**API** — call it from your code (`pip install apify-client` / `npm i apify-client`):

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("kalilfagundes.w/weibo-scraper").call(run_input={
    "hotSearch": True,
    "maxHotFeedPosts": 25,
    "users": [
        "https://weibo.com/u/1669879400"
    ],
    "maxPostsPerUser": 20,
    "searchQueries": [
        "Tesla",
        "#人工智能#"
    ],
    "maxItems": 300
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('kalilfagundes.w/weibo-scraper').call({
  "hotSearch": true,
  "maxHotFeedPosts": 25,
  "users": [
    "https://weibo.com/u/1669879400"
  ],
  "maxPostsPerUser": 20,
  "searchQueries": [
    "Tesla",
    "#人工智能#"
  ],
  "maxItems": 300
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### Pricing

Pay only for the rows you get (launch offer, lower on higher Apify plans):

| Row | Price |
|---|---|
| Post | $1.50 per 1,000 |
| Comment | $0.50 per 1,000 |
| Hot search row | $1 per 1,000 (the 50-topic board = $0.05) |
| User profile | $2 per 1,000 |
| Run start | $0.002 |

Example: 1,000 posts with 20 comments each = $1.50 + $10 = $11.50. `maxItems` and the per-input limits cap every run.

### Limits and FAQ

- **Search and user timelines without login**: Weibo shows guests the first page of each search tab (All, Latest,
  Popular - about 30 different posts per keyword) and the latest 10-20 posts of a user. Use more keywords or hashtags
  for more posts. Comments, the hot feed and the hot search board page through normally.
- Deleted, private or region-restricted posts are reported in the run's OUTPUT summary and skipped.
- Requests start without a proxy and switch to a fresh proxy IP when Weibo throttles a session.
- Only public data is collected. No login, cookies or CAPTCHA solving.

Questions or a missing field? Open an issue on the Issues tab - feedback is answered quickly.

## MCP server setup

```json

```

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).
