Weibo Scraper API

Extract any public Weibo profile or post into structured JSON — post text and media, repost chains, comment and like counts, plus trending hot-topic listings.

Profiles · postsVideos & engagementComments & followersPublic data only
▸ Overview

Weibo is China's largest microblogging platform, where celebrities, brands, and the trending hot-search board drive nationwide conversation at enormous scale. The Weibo Scraper API resolves public user profiles, individual posts, and hot-topic pages, parsing dense mixed-media posts into structured fields with their repost and comment activity.

Consumer-brand teams and China-market analysts use it to track campaign reach, KOL influence, and what is climbing the hot-search rankings in real time. Only public posts and topics are gathered, and follower, repost, comment, and like counts are normalized for cross-market reporting.

▸ FAQ

Weibo scraping, answered.

Structured JSON straight from the API, or pushed to your stack natively — S3, BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, Kafka, or any HTTPS webhook. Call it from Python, Node, Go, Rust, or any HTTP client. The data lands where your pipeline already lives.

No. You pay for valid, schema-passing rows only. Retries, blocks, CAPTCHAs, and 5xxs are on us. If a run doesn't return data that conforms to the schema, it isn't billed.

Every request routes through the same engine behind our Web Unblocker API: compliant residential IPs, real browser fingerprints, TLS-level evasion, behaviour modelling, and built-in CAPTCHA solving. Hard targets become routine.

Yes. We respect robots policies, rate budgets, and ToS-aware allow/deny lists. We deliver and move on — no row-level retention beyond your replay window. GDPR DPA, PII redaction, and custom data residency available on request.
