Weibo Scraper — Posts, Hot Search, Users & Comments

What does Weibo Scraper do?

It extracts public data from Weibo (微博), China's biggest public social network, without login, cookies or an API key:

• 🔥 Hot search ranking (热搜榜): the real-time top ~50 keywords with heat scores
• 📈 Trending posts (热门微博) from Weibo's discover feed
• 🔎 Latest and top posts for any keyword
• 👤 User profiles: followers, posts, verification. Find KOLs by keyword.
• 📝 A user's latest posts with full text, images, video, likes, reposts and comments
• 💬 Top comments with likes and the commenter's IP location (province)

All counts are clean integers (8255.1万 → 82551000), dates are ISO 8601 and field names are in English.

🇬🇧 Built-in English translation

Don't read Chinese? Turn on Translate to English and every text gets an English version next to the original, at no extra cost:

{ "keyword": "日本误报9.9级地震", "keywordEn": "Japan falsely reports a 9.9 magnitude earthquake" }

Use cases

• Daily China social listening: schedule it every morning for hot search + your brand keywords
• KOL / celebrity monitoring: track the latest posts and engagement of any account
• Trend research & news: know what Chinese users are talking about right now
• Sentiment analysis & AI datasets: posts and comments with location and timestamps
