## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Weibo Post Scraper

Fetch full public detail for one Weibo post by numeric ID.

### Input

| Field | Use it for |
|---|---|
| **`id`** | Weibo's numeric post ID (the same ID Weibo calls `mid`). Required. |

```json
{
  "id": "5327962377289859"
}
```

No login, cookie, or session token needed.

### Output

One row.

| Field | Contents |
|---|---|
| **`id`**, **`idstr`**, **`mid`** | Numeric post ID |
| **`mblogid`** | Base62 post ID used in share URLs |
| **`text`**, **`text_raw`** | Post text, with and without HTML markup |
| **`title`** | Post title, when Weibo sets one |
| **`created_at`** | Post timestamp |
| **`reads_count`** | View count |
| **`reposts_count`**, **`comments_count`**, **`attitudes_count`** | Engagement counts |
| **`user`** | Author's profile, nested |
| **`pic_ids`** | Attached image IDs |

```json
{
  "id": 5327962377289859,
  "mid": "5327962377289859",
  "mblogid": "RbJqBuAqn",
  "reposts_count": 3,
  "comments_count": 10,
  "attitudes_count": 18,
  "reads_count": null
}
```

### Questions

**Is `reads_count` always populated?**
No -- it's `null` for a real share of posts, including the account used to build this Actor. Not every post has a view count Weibo exposes publicly.

**Where do I get an `id` to start with?**
From a search result (`weibo_id`), a profile's posts list (`id`/`mid`), or the post's own share URL.

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "post": "5327962377289859"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("toolzerhub/weibo-post-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "post": "5327962377289859"
}' |
apify call toolzerhub/weibo-post-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,toolzerhub/weibo-post-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
