Workflows

User-Related Operations

For operations involving users (profile, feeds, followers, fans), you need to first search for the user to get their UID:

1. Search users → Get UID
       ↓
2. Use UID for subsequent operations

Example: Get a specific user's feeds

# Step 1: Search for user to get UID
weibo-cli users "雷军" -n 5

# Step 2: Use the UID (1749127163) to get feeds
weibo-cli feeds 1749127163 -n 10

Example: Get someone's followers

# Step 1: Search users
weibo-cli users "科技博主" -n 5

# Step 2: Use UID to get followers
weibo-cli followers <UID> -n 20

Content Search

For searching posts/content by keyword, use the search command directly:

# Search posts containing keywords
weibo-cli search "人工智能" -n 20

Topic Search

For searching hashtags/topics:

# Search topics
weibo-cli topics "演唱会" -n 10

Trending Hot Searches

Get current trending topics directly:

# Get trending hot searches
weibo-cli trending -n 15

Comments

Getting comments requires a feed_id, which can be obtained from feed results:

1. Search users → Get UID
       ↓
2. Get feeds → Get feed IDs
       ↓
3. Use feed_id to get comments

Example: Get comments on a specific post

# Step 1: Get the user's feeds
weibo-cli feeds 1749127163 -n 10

# Step 2: Use the feed id from results to get comments
weibo-cli comments <FEED_ID> -p 1
