Weibo Trends Analyzer

Weibo Trends Analyzer - 微博热搜创意产品分析

Overview

This skill helps you identify creative product opportunities from Weibo trending topics. It fetches real-time hot search data, researches comprehensive background information, evaluates product development potential, and presents findings in an interactive dashboard.

Keywords: Weibo, 微博, trending topics, hot search, 热搜, product ideas, creative products, market analysis, social media trends, Chinese market

Workflow

1. Fetch Weibo Trending Topics

Default API: https://apis.tianapi.com/weibohot/index?key=4dfdf794141101d7bb8ece0294dbbc02

When the user requests Weibo trending analysis, fetch the current hot search list:

curl -s "https://apis.tianapi.com/weibohot/index?key=4dfdf794141101d7bb8ece0294dbbc02"

API Response Processing:

The API returns data in this format:

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "result": {
    "list": [
      {
        "hotword": "trending keyword",
        "hotwordnum": "1234567",
        "hottag": "新/热/荐"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Field Mapping:

• hotword → Trending keyword (热搜关键词)
• hotwordnum → Heat value (热度值), may contain category prefix like "综艺 587870"
• hottag → Tag (标签): "新"(new), "热"(hot), "荐"(recommended), or empty
• Ranking position → Inferred from array index (1-based)

Parsing Instructions:

1. Check if code == 200 to confirm success
2. Extract the result.list array
3. For each item in the list:
   • Rank = array index + 1
   • Keyword = hotword
   • Heat value = extract numeric value from hotwordnum (remove category prefix if present)
   • Tag = hottag
   • Category = extract from hotwordnum prefix if exists (e.g., "综艺", "剧集", "盛典", "演出")
4. Limit analysis to top 10-15 items to manage processing time

Error Handling:

If API fetch fails, follow this fallback strategy:

1. API Returns Error Code (code ≠ 200):

   • Log the error message from API response
   • Inform user: "API returned error: {msg}. Would you like to use mock data instead?"
   • Suggest checking API key or quota limits
   • If user agrees, use .claude/skills/weibo-trends-analyzer/weibo-mock-data.json

2. Network/Connection Failure:

   • Inform user: "Unable to connect to API. Possible network issue."
   • Offer to use mock data: .claude/skills/weibo-trends-analyzer/weibo-mock-data.json
   • Suggest verifying internet connection

3. Invalid JSON Response:

   • Log the response received
   • Inform user: "API returned invalid data format"
   • Recommend checking if API endpoint has changed
   • Fall back to mock data if available

4. Empty or Malformed Data:

   • If result.list is empty or missing
   • Inform user: "No trending topics found in API response"
   • Use mock data as fallback

2. Deep Research Each Trending Topic

For EACH trending topic, perform 2 focused web searches to gather essential background:

Search Strategy (2 searches per topic):

Search 1: Context & Background Combine social media discussions and news background in one search:

• Search query examples:
  • "{keyword} 微博 新闻背景"
  • "{keyword} 热搜原因 讨论"
  • "{keyword} latest news 用户看法"

Goal: Understand WHAT the trend is about and WHY it's trending

Search 2: User Insights & Market Potential Focus on consumer perspective and product opportunities:

• Search query examples:
  • "{keyword} 用户需求 产品"
  • "{keyword} 消费者痛点"
  • "{keyword} 产品创意 市场"

Goal: Identify user needs, pain points, and product development opportunities

Information to Extract: From the 2 searches, gather:

• ✅ Social media sentiment and discussion volume (社交媒体讨论)
• ✅ News background and event context (新闻背景)
• ✅ Target demographics and audience size (目标人群)
• ✅ User pain points and unmet needs (用户痛点)
• ✅ Existing products or market gaps (市场机会)
• ✅ Cultural/social significance (文化意义)

Error Handling for Web Searches:

1. Search Returns No Results:

   • Log: "No search results for: {keyword}"
   • Mark research as "Limited data available"
   • Proceed with analysis using keyword itself and general market knowledge
   • Note in dashboard: "⚠️ 背景研究受限"

2. Search Timeout or Failure:

   • Retry once with simplified query (just keyword without additional terms)
   • If retry fails, mark as "Search unavailable"
   • Continue analysis with available data
   • Note limitation in product analysis

3. Irrelevant Search Results:

   • If results don't match trending topic context:
   • Try alternative search query with different keywords
   • Use general industry knowledge for analysis
   • Document: "Based on general market analysis"

4. Partial Search Success (1 of 2 succeeds):

   • Proceed with available search data
   • Note which aspect is missing (context vs. user insights)
   • Make conservative estimates for missing information
   • Mark in dashboard with: "⚠️ 部分数据"

3. AI-Powered Product Ideation & Scoring

For each trending topic, analyze and generate creative product ideas using this scoring framework:

Scoring System (Total: 100 Points)

1. Product Development Potential (可发展度): 40 points

   • Market size and scalability (15 points)
   • Technical feasibility (10 points)
   • Trend longevity vs. fleeting fad (10 points)
   • Competitive landscape (5 points)

2. Interest Level (有趣度): 20 points

   • Creative uniqueness (10 points)
   • Emotional appeal (5 points)
   • Share-ability/viral potential (5 points)

3. Practical Life Utility (生活有用度): 20 points

   • Daily life integration (10 points)
   • Problem-solving capability (5 points)
   • Target audience size (5 points)

4. Small-Scale Production Ease (小规模生产容易程度): 20 points

   • Manufacturing complexity (10 points)
   • Material accessibility (5 points)
   • Cost efficiency for small batches (5 points)

Product Concept Requirements:

For each trend, generate 1-3 creative product concepts including:
