Weibo API
Posts, comments, accounts, trends.
The Weibo API lets you search posts and read post details, comments, account profiles, an account's posts and the trending list, with no Weibo account or login. Each call costs 2 credits ($0.004 to $0.0067); failed calls are free. Use it over HTTP with an API key, or through MCP from your AI client. Last tested 2026-11-05.

Does Weibo have an official API?
Weibo's open platform API requires OAuth, and its post-reading endpoints return only the authorised user's own posts; advanced endpoints require a separate application.
