How do I install the Weibo skill?

Run npx skillmds add modbender/weibo in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Weibo safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: executes scripts, makes network calls, reads secrets. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Weibo?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Weibo free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Weibo

Use this skill to collect Weibo signals with reproducible Weibo Open Platform API calls and CLI automation.

Quick Start

Review references/api_guide.md for current official endpoints and constraints.
Provide credentials through OpenClaw skill config or secure environment injection.
Generate an authorization URL: bash scripts/weibo_cli.sh oauth-authorize-url
Exchange code for a token: bash scripts/weibo_cli.sh oauth-access-token --code "<code>"
Call endpoints: bash scripts/weibo_cli.sh public-timeline --count 20

Primary Interface

Use the Bash CLI first:

scripts/weibo_cli.sh: OAuth2 + direct API command interface, optimized for agentic runs.

Optional companion skill:

weibo-brave-search: separate fallback skill for site:weibo.com search through Brave Search API.

Recommended Workflow

Validate provider requirements in references/api_guide.md.
Run oauth-authorize-url, open URL, capture code.
Run oauth-access-token --code ... and store token securely.
Use endpoint helpers (public-timeline, user-timeline, search-topics) or call.
If API access is blocked and you explicitly want a separate commercial fallback, use the weibo-brave-search skill instead of this one.

CLI Command Surface

oauth-authorize-url
oauth-access-token --code <code>
oauth-token-info
public-timeline [--count N] [--page N]
user-timeline --uid <uid> [--count N]
search-topics --q <query>
call --method GET --path /2/... --param key=value

Run bash scripts/weibo_cli.sh --help for details.

Credentials And Secret Handling

Credential classes:

Variable	Required	Sensitive	Used for
`WEIBO_APP_KEY`	Yes	No	OAuth client identifier
`WEIBO_APP_SECRET`	Yes	Yes	OAuth token exchange
`WEIBO_REDIRECT_URI`	Yes	No	OAuth callback
`WEIBO_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Optional	Yes	Authenticated API calls after token issuance

OpenClaw configuration guidance:

Set skills.entries.weibo.apiKey to a SecretRef or plaintext value only for WEIBO_APP_SECRET, because this skill declares WEIBO_APP_SECRET as its primaryEnv.
Set skills.entries.weibo.env.WEIBO_APP_KEY and skills.entries.weibo.env.WEIBO_REDIRECT_URI as regular env config.
If you want pre-issued token flows, set skills.entries.weibo.env.WEIBO_ACCESS_TOKEN from your external secret manager or deployment environment.

Warnings:

WEIBO_APP_SECRET and WEIBO_ACCESS_TOKEN are sensitive and must not be committed.
OpenClaw's documented SecretRef audit path covers skills.entries.<skillKey>.apiKey; it does not give the same visibility for arbitrary ad hoc env vars.
If you inject WEIBO_ACCESS_TOKEN through plain environment variables, store it in your external secrets manager or deployment environment and do not treat it as registry-managed unless you have configured it that way intentionally.
This skill makes network calls to https://api.weibo.com.

Notes

Prefer JSON output for downstream automation.
Keep requests minimal and paginated to reduce rate-limit pressure.
Use the official docs linked in references/api_guide.md as source of truth when endpoint behavior conflicts with old SDK examples.
