Weibo posts and profiles by user ID
What it does
Scrape posts and profile data from Weibo, China's largest microblogging platform. Returns post text, publish time, repost, comment and like counts, attached images and profile details including follower counts and verification status. Weibo blocks non China IPs at the connection layer, so a China residential proxy is handled as part of the run.
Built in
- ✓ Posts and profile records per user ID
- ✓ Repost, comment and like counts
- ✓ Image URLs attached to each post
- ✓ China residential routing handled
- ✓ MCP-native for AI agents

Common questions
Why does this need a China proxy? +
Weibo refuses connections from outside China before the request reaches its application layer, so the run times out rather than returning an error. The actor routes through China residential IPs so requests land.
What do I pass in? +
Weibo numeric user IDs. Each one returns that account's posts up to your per profile cap, and optionally a profile record with follower and verification details.
How does pricing work? +
Pay per result: from $2.25 per 1,000 results on Apify's higher plans, $3.00 on the free plan, plus a $0.005 start fee per run. Posts and profile rows are priced the same.
What comes back for each post? +
Post text, publish time, repost, comment and like counts, and the URLs of any attached images. Profile records add follower counts and verification status.
Can an AI agent call this directly? +
Yes. The actor is exposed as an MCP tool, so Claude or any MCP client can run it and read the results without glue code.
