Weibo Search Scraper - 微博 Posts & Hot Search

Search Weibo (微博, China's Twitter) by keyword and export every matching post with its likes, reposts, comments, images, video, posting location and author. Pick top posts or the latest posts, search any date range (including past years), filter by verified or media accounts, or export the live Weibo hot search list (微博热搜). No login and no Weibo account needed.

What you get

One row per post:

• Post: full text, hashtags, post URL, publish time, images, video file and video page, device or source, posting location (IP region)
• Engagement: likes, reposts and comments
• Repost info: whether it's a repost, plus the original post's text, author and link
• Author: name, ID, profile link, follower count, verified flag and verification reason, avatar

In Hot search mode, one row per trending topic with its rank, heat score, label (热 hot, 新 new…) and a search link.

Search options

Option	What it does
Sort: Top posts (热门)	The most popular posts for your keyword
Sort: All results (综合)	Weibo's default mix of popular and recent posts
Sort: Latest (实时)	The newest posts first
Published from / to	Any date range, years back. Great for brand history and event analysis
Post type	Original posts only, verified accounts, media accounts or popular posts
Contains	Only posts with images, videos or links

Use cases

• Brand monitoring: track what Chinese consumers say about your brand, product or competitors
• Social listening and sentiment analysis: export posts and engagement for any topic or hashtag
• PR and crisis monitoring: follow a story as it breaks, with the hot search list and the latest posts
• Historical research: pull posts from any past date range for event and campaign analysis
• KOL discovery: find verified accounts and top voices discussing a topic

How to use

1. Enter one or more Search keywords (use #topic# to search a hashtag)
2. Choose Sort by, and optionally a date range and post filters
3. Set Max posts per keyword and run the actor
4. Export the results from the Dataset tab as JSON, CSV or Excel
5. For the trending list, set Mode to Hot search list

Pricing

Each post is one post event. Latest, date ranges and post-type or media filters use a deeper lookup that fetches every post individually for full text and real counts, so each of those posts adds one full-post-lookup event. Hot search topics are one hot-topic event each.

FAQ

Do I need a Weibo account or cookies? No.

Why is textTruncated true on some posts? In Top and All modes, Weibo cuts very long posts short in search results. Use Latest or a date range to get the full text of every post.

Why is authorFollowers empty in Latest mode? Weibo's post page doesn't include the author's follower count. Top and All modes include it.

Are ads included? No. Promoted posts and sponsored hot search entries are removed.

How far back can I search? Any date range works, including past years. Weibo shows up to about 50 pages per search, so split long ranges into shorter ones for the most complete results.
