EveryData platform API

Weibo API

Q: What can I retrieve with the Weibo API?

Set `platform` to `weibo`. The current catalog lists search, profiles, comments, and trending. These action names identify different Weibo objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.

Q: Which fields can Weibo `search` return?

Its declared schema includes `text`, `posted_at`, `device`, and `repost_count`. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.

Across Weibo, Weibo posts, profiles, comments, and trending topics are available through 4 separately documented actions, with `search`, `profile`, `comments` illustrating the distinct request shapes.

Use `search` with `keyword` to discover public Weibo posts, or `profile` with `user_id` to retrieve a public creator record. Their inputs and response fields remain separate.

What does each Weibo action accept?

Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.

Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.

What do the Weibo `search` parameters mean?

Search public results on Weibo. Accepts these parameters: keyword. Returns these fields: text, device, comment_count, and repost_count.

keywordRequired: Specifies the search term for public posts in the search action. The trending action does not use a keyword parameter and returns current hot search topics rather than user posts.

What do the Weibo `profile` parameters mean?

Retrieve public profile details from Weibo. Accepts these parameters: user_id. Returns these fields: gender, company, avatar_url, and following_count.

user_idRequired: Specifies the target Weibo user via their numeric UID or a profile URL containing /u/numeric_UID for the profile action. Username handles are not supported, and profile metadata does not include a full list of the user's posts.
Weibo: Definitions of UID, Nickname, and Followed CountsOfficial Weibo documentation defines `uid` / `screen_name` as user ID / nickname, `friends_count` as followed count, and `followers_count` as follower count. Nickname query options in official APIs do not mean the `user_id` on this page supports nickname resolution; field returns remain strictly subject to the platform contract and actual results.Checked 2026-09-04

What do the Weibo `comments` parameters mean?

Retrieve public comments from Weibo. Accepts these parameters: url. Returns these fields: like_count, author_name, author_avatar_url, and posted_at.

urlRequired: Specifies the post URL or numeric post ID for the comments action. Format as /detail/NUMERIC_POST_ID or pass the numeric ID directly. The parser extracts only the trailing numeric sequence, so short URLs containing alphanumeric characters may fail to resolve properly.
Weibo: Conversion Guidelines for Base62 MIDs and Numeric IDsLegacy Weibo developer documentation separates MID from numeric ID and specifies that letter-containing MIDs use base62 encoding. This reference only cites identifier differences and does not guarantee the legacy API is callable; `comments` on this page lack automatic conversion capabilities, so links using numeric post IDs are preferred.Checked 2026-09-04

What do the Weibo `trending` parameters mean?

Retrieve current trends from Weibo. Requires no parameters. Returns these fields: category, rank, label, and title.

This action has no business parameters. Send only the platform and action identifiers.

Does every Weibo action return immediately?

No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
