Canonical: https://socialtoai.com/weibo-trending-api/

## One request

0.3 credits per successful or empty call. Failed calls cost 0.

Replace any PASTE_PUBLIC placeholder with a supported public identifier. This is a request template; it does not run automatically.

```
curl --request POST 'https://api.socialtoai.com/v1/trending' \
  --header "X-API-Key: $SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Idempotency-Key: REPLACE_WITH_A_UNIQUE_REQUEST_ID' \
  --data '{"platform":"weibo"}'
```

## Native support

Result shape: leaderboard. Pagination: not supported.

Categories: 微博热搜.

These values describe the reference card. Additional restrictions can apply to user discovery or a content subtype. Inspect applied_params and warnings instead of assuming an unsupported filter was honored.

## A schema-checked example

Illustrative result with one invented value and an example trial balance. It shows the response shape; it is not a live response or a production availability measurement.

## Platform limitations

Unsupported popularity sorts fall back to relevance; text falls back to all. Image/video search cannot independently apply a non-relevance sort.

Search may continue until an empty page when the source does not provide a continuation signal. Inspect warnings and apply a page budget.

Trending excludes pinned entries and returns native ranks 1–50.

Use a numeric post ID or standard post URL for content, and a numeric UID or standard profile URL for accounts.
