Weibo
Overview
Chinese microblogging platform (social media). China's Twitter/X equivalent with trending topics, user timelines, post detail/comments, and write operations (like, repost, follow, bookmark).
Workflows
Browse trending and read a post
getHotSearch → realtime[].wordgetHotFeed(group_id, containerid, extparam) → statuses[].mid, statuses[].user.idgetPost(id=mid) → full post with text, images, engagement
Explore a user's profile and posts
getUserProfile(uid) → screen_name, bio, followers_count, verificationgetUserDetail(uid) → birthday, ip_location, created_atgetUserStatuses(uid, page) → list[].mid, list[].user.idgetPost(id=mid) → full post detail
Read home feed and interact (verified write ops, paired)
getHotFeed(group_id, containerid, extparam) → pick post → statuses[].mid (numeric long), statuses[].user.idlikePost(id ← statuses[].mid) → ok, attitudeunlikePost(id ← statuses[].mid) → ok (reverses likePost)bookmarkPost(id ← statuses[].mid) → ok, favorited_timeunbookmarkPost(id ← statuses[].mid) → ok (reverses bookmarkPost; note upstream typo destory)repost(id ← statuses[].mid, reason) → ok, statuses (publish a quote-repost)
mid format matters. Write ops require the numeric long-integer mid
(e.g. 5289345339621625) from feed responses, not the alphanumeric
mblogid (e.g. Qyj0ifs0m) used by getPost. setLike/destoryFavorites accept
only the long integer.
Follow / unfollow a user from a post
getPost(id) or feed → user.idfollowUser(friend_uid ← user.id) → returns target user objectunfollowUser(uid ← user.id) → reverses followUser (note: param is uid, not friend_uid; endpoint typo destory)

Quick Start
# Get trending topics
openweb weibo exec getHotSearch '{}'
# Get home feed
openweb weibo exec getFriendsFeed '{"list_id": "my_follow_all", "count": 25}'
# Get hot/trending feed
openweb weibo exec getHotFeed '{"group_id": 102803, "containerid": 102803, "count": 10, "extparam": "discover|new_feed"}'
# Get a user's profile
openweb weibo exec getUserProfile '{"uid": 1918530507}'
# Get a user's posts
openweb weibo exec getUserStatuses '{"uid": 1706699904, "page": 1}'
# Get a specific post
openweb weibo exec getPost '{"id": "Qyj0ifs0m"}'
# Get reposts of a post
openweb weibo exec listReposts '{"id": 5281762063682574, "page": 1, "count": 10}'
# Like / unlike a post (numeric long mid, not mblogid)
openweb weibo exec likePost '{"id": "5289345339621625"}'
openweb weibo exec unlikePost '{"id": "5289345339621625"}'
# Bookmark / unbookmark (note "destory" typo on the unbookmark endpoint)
openweb weibo exec bookmarkPost '{"id": "5288272024575643"}'
openweb weibo exec unbookmarkPost '{"id": "5288272024575643"}'
# Follow / unfollow (note: unfollow uses `uid`, follow uses `friend_uid`)
openweb weibo exec followUser '{"friend_uid": "6859786766"}'
openweb weibo exec unfollowUser '{"uid": "6859786766"}'
# Quote-repost
openweb weibo exec repost '{"id": "5289345339621625", "reason": "interesting"}'
Known Limitations
- Login required — every op needs a logged-in
weibo.com browser tab (SUB cookie).
- Numeric long
mid for write ops — likePost/unlikePost/bookmarkPost/unbookmarkPost/repost reject the alphanumeric mblogid. Read mid from feed responses (getFriendsFeed.statuses[].mid, getHotFeed.statuses[].mid), not from getPost.
- Upstream typos:
destory (not destroy) — unbookmarkPost POSTs to /ajax/statuses/destoryFavorites and unfollowUser POSTs to /ajax/friendships/destory. Both spellings are wrong (Weibo's typo); using the "correct" destroy returns HTML 404. Param name is also asymmetric — followUser takes friend_uid, unfollowUser takes uid.
