## 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 User Search Scraper

Search public Weibo accounts by keyword.

### Input

| Field | Use it for |
|---|---|
| **`query`** | Words or phrase to search for. Required. |
| **`page`** | Page to start from. Default `1`. |

```json
{
  "query": "travel"
}
```

No login, cookie, or session token needed.

### Output

One row per matching account.

| Field | Contents |
|---|---|
| **`id`** | User ID |
| **`screen_name`**, **`name`** | Display name |
| **`avatar`** | Avatar URL |
| **`description`** | Bio text |
| **`followers_count_str`** | Follower count, as Weibo displays it |
| **`verified`** | Verification status |
| **`source_query`** | The keyword this run searched |

```json
{
  "id": "2415848337",
  "name": "带着微博去旅行",
  "fans": 925,
  "profile_url": "https://weibo.com/u/2415848337"
}
```

### Questions

**Is this the same as searching one account's own posts?**
No -- that's a different, narrower capability (searching within a single known account's post history), not offered by this Actor. This one finds accounts across the whole platform by keyword.

**Can I get the full profile for a match?**
Use [Weibo Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/toolzerhub/weibo-profile-scraper) with the `id` from a result row.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "travel",
  "page": 1
}' |
apify call toolzerhub/weibo-user-search-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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