Weibo Scraper

🚀 Weibo Scraper

Scrape Weibo (微博) without logging in. One Actor, five modes:

• 🔥 Hot timeline: posts from Weibo's hot feed with likes, comments, shares, text, images, videos and author.
• 📈 Hot search (热搜): the live hot-search board, with rank, heat, label and the pinned topics.
• 📝 Post details: full posts from any Weibo post link, with long posts expanded to their full text.
• 💬 Post comments: comments on any post, each with its first replies, like counts and the commenter's location and follower count.
• 👤 User profiles: followers, following, post count, verification, lifetime likes/comments/reposts, registration date, company and school.

No account, cookies or API key needed.

⚙️ Input

Field	Used by	Description
mode	all	hotTimeline (default), hotSearch, postDetails, postComments or userProfiles.
postUrls	postDetails, postComments	weibo.com/{user}/{id}, m.weibo.cn/detail/{id}, m.weibo.cn/status/{id} links or bare post ids.
users	userProfiles	weibo.com/u/{uid} links, custom links like weibo.com/rmrb, weibo.com/n/{name} links, numeric ids or screen names (人民日报).
maxCommentsPerPost	postComments	Comments per post. Defaults to 100.
commentsSort	postComments	newest (default) reaches much deeper into a thread; hot returns Weibo's top comments first.
limit	all	Maximum results in the whole run. Defaults to 100.
proxyConfiguration	all	Defaults to Apify Proxy. Weibo does not answer Apify's shared platform IPs, so keep a proxy on.

Comments on one post:

{
    "mode": "postComments",
    "postUrls": ["https://weibo.com/1763990660/RjANMzWLc"],
    "maxCommentsPerPost": 500
}

Profiles:

{
    "mode": "userProfiles",
    "users": ["https://weibo.com/u/2803301701", "新浪新闻", "https://weibo.com/rmrb"]
}

⚠️ Limits

• Keyword search and a user's full post timeline need a logged-in Weibo account, so this Actor does not offer them.
• Weibo shows logged-out visitors only part of a comment thread, so expect most but not all comments. In our tests: 182 of 217 on a small thread, 1,000+ on a post with 139k comments.
• Some authors switch on comment curation (评论精选); only the comments they pick are public, and the run log says so.
• Every row has a type field (post, hotSearch, comment, profile). Each row in the dataset counts as one result.
