Weibo users as numeric UID (1669879400), profile URL (https://weibo.com/u/1669879400, https://m.weibo.cn/u/1669879400, https://weibo.com/adolphag) or screen name (@华为终端). Returns one profile row with followers, total likes/comments/reposts, verification, company, school, account age and influence labels, plus the user's newest posts.
Brands, products, people or #topics#. Each keyword is searched in the Top (综合), Real-time (实时) and Hot (热门) tabs and as a #topic#; results are de-duplicated. Weibo shows signed-out visitors the first page of each tab (about 15–30 unique posts per keyword) — use many keywords for volume, or add a cookie below for deeper pages.
Specific posts to fetch together with their comments — e.g. https://weibo.com/1669879400/RlZog45UR, https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5352408760976057 or just the numeric ID. Popular posts have tens of thousands of comments; the cap is 'Max comments per post'.
Add the 50 topics on Weibo's real-time hot-search board, with rank, heat value, label (热/新/沸/爆), category and the time each topic entered the board.
For every hot-search topic, also collect the posts Weibo shows for it (first page of each search tab). Up to ~750 extra posts — what people are actually saying about each trend.
How many posts to take from each hot channel. Measured: 1,000+ unique posts per channel are available in a single run.
Newest posts per user. Signed-out visitors are shown about 10 per profile; with a cookie the actor pages further. 0 = profile row only.
Emit one 'user' row per requested user with the full profile (followers, following, posts, lifetime likes/comments/reposts, verification reason, company, school, account creation date, credit level, influence labels).
Cap per search keyword (Top + Real-time + Hot tabs + #topic#, de-duplicated).
Run Weibo's user search for every keyword and emit up to 20 matching accounts as 'user' rows (followers, verification, description) — handy for finding brand accounts and KOLs.
Cap per hot-search topic when 'Also collect posts for each trending topic' is on.
Also collect comments for posts found via channels, users, search and trends (posts given under 'Post URLs' always get their comments). Each comment row carries the commenter's profile and IP region.
Top-level comments per post, 20 per request. Weibo shows signed-out visitors roughly 300 per order (about 500 with "both"). 0 = no comments.
Also collect second-level replies under each comment that has any (rows with isReply = true).
Cap on replies collected under each comment. Weibo shows signed-out visitors up to 100 replies per comment.
Weibo truncates long posts in feeds. When on, every post flagged as long gets one extra request for its full text.
Hot-channel feeds include only a slim author object (name, verification, lifetime interactions). When on, each unique author is looked up once (cached) to add followers, following, post count, gender, location, bio and verification reason to every post row. One extra request per unique author.
Stop after this many rows across all sources and row types. 0 = no limit.
Requests in flight at the same time across the whole run. 20 is fast and stable on Weibo (measured); go up to 50 for very large runs, or lower it to be gentler.
Optional and rarely needed — channels, comments, trends, profiles and first-page search all work without it. Only if you need deeper profile timelines or search pages: paste the Cookie header of your own signed-in m.weibo.cn session. Beta: this path has not been verified against a live signed-in account yet. Stored encrypted as a secret input, used from a single IP.
