Input

Field	Type	Description
operation	string (weiboDetail \| userDetail \| userFans \| userFollowers \| searchWeibo)	🎯 PICK ONE OPERATION PER RUN. Each run produces one clean dataset matching the chosen mode. - 📝 Weibo Detail — deep scrape of a single post by ID (text, location, topics, @-mentions, repost/comment/attitude counts, pics, creator info) - 👤 User Profile — full profile by user ID (followers, following, statuses count, verified reason, location, avatar, gender, bio) - 👥 User Fans — list of users who follow this account (~20 per page; respects privacy settings) - ➡️ User Followers — list of accounts this user follows (~20 per page; respects privacy settings) - 🔍 Search Weibo — keyword search across Weibo posts with optional date range, paginated (~14 results/page) 💡 TIP: To combine operations, run the actor multiple times with different configurations. default "searchWeibo"
weiboId	string	📝 Required for the `Weibo Detail` operation. The numeric Weibo post ID (also called `mid`). You can find it: - In any mobile Weibo URL: `https://m.weibo.cn/detail/{ID}` → the trailing segment - In the `weiboId` / `id` field of any search result row 💡 TIP: To analyze a batch of posts, run a `Search Weibo` operation first, copy `weiboId` values from the result rows, then run `Weibo Detail` per ID. ⚠️ Ignored for User Profile, User Fans, User Followers, and Search operations. default "5249718969175092"
userId	string	👤 Required for `User Profile`, `User Fans`, and `User Followers` operations. The numeric Weibo user ID (UID). You can find it: - In any profile URL: `https://weibo.com/u/{ID}` - In the `userId` / `user_id` field of any post, search, or fan/follower result row 💡 TIP: To build a creator catalog, run `Search Weibo` with a keyword first, then use the top `userId` values to drill into profiles, fans, and followers. ⚠️ Note: Some accounts restrict public access to their fan/follower lists — those operations will return an explanatory empty row. ⚠️ Ignored for Weibo Detail and Search operations. default "2760523085"
keyword	string	🔍 Required for the `Search Weibo` operation. Any Weibo search query. Supports Chinese, English, and mixed queries: - `北京` (Beijing) - `Tesla` - `美食` (food) - `iPhone` 💡 TIP: Chinese queries surface native creators and conversations; English/brand queries surface international and brand-mention traffic. default "北京"
startDay	string	📅 Optional for `Search Weibo`. Earliest date to include in search results. Format: `YYYY-MM-DD` (e.g. `2025-04-01`). Defaults to 30 days ago if left blank. 💡 TIP: Tight date windows return more targeted results. Use the start/end pair to track a topic over a specific campaign or news event. ⚠️ Ignored for non-search operations.
endDay	string	📅 Optional for `Search Weibo`. Latest date to include in search results. Format: `YYYY-MM-DD` (e.g. `2025-05-12`). Defaults to today if left blank. ⚠️ Ignored for non-search operations.
maxPages	integer	📄 Applies to paginated operations (User Fans, User Followers, Search Weibo). Ignored for single-record operations (Weibo Detail, User Profile). - User Fans: ~20 users per page - User Followers: ~20 users per page - Search Weibo: ~14 posts per page 💡 TIP: Start small (1–3 pages) to preview results before scaling up. ⚠️ Hard cap: 50 pages to prevent runaway runs. default 5
