Weibo Profile Scraper
The Actor looks up one Weibo account and returns it as a single row: who it says it is, how many people follow it, and what Weibo has verified about it.
Accepted input
uid is required and takes either the account's numeric user ID or a link to the profile. Links in the shapes weibo.com/u/<uid> and m.weibo.cn/u/<uid> have the ID pulled out of them for you.
Weibo addresses an account by that number, not by its screen name, so a screen name alone will not open a profile. If you have one and not the other, the Weibo User Search Scraper is what turns a name into candidate accounts.
Result fields
uid is the numeric user ID the row is keyed by, as a string — Weibo IDs run past what a JSON number holds exactly, and a rounded ID joins to nothing.
screen_name is the display name and description the bio. location and gender are as recorded on the profile. profile_image_url and avatar_hd are the avatar at two sizes.
verified says whether Weibo has verified the account. verified_type is Weibo's own numeric code for which kind of verification, and verified_reason is the sentence it gives for it — usually the person's role or the organisation's name, which is often the most useful single field on the row.
followers_count, friends_count and statuses_count are followers, accounts followed, and posts published. status_total_counter is Weibo's own bundle of totals for the account, as it returns them.
Accounts that are not there
A user ID nobody holds, or an account that has been closed, comes back empty rather than as an error. The run succeeds with no rows and nothing is charged.
A run that could not reach the backend fails loudly instead, and so does a response in a shape this Actor does not recognise. An empty dataset always means "there is no such account" — it never stands in for a request that went wrong.
