FAQ
Does Weibo have an official data API?
Weibo's open platform needs a registered app and user authorization, and public data such as keyword search across Weibo or the comments on any post is generally out of reach for ordinary developers. Qovia serves that public data through one API key.
What Weibo data can I get?
Single posts (full text, author, like/comment/repost counts, views and video plays where Weibo shows them, topics, images, publish time and IP location), comments and replies, user profiles and their posts, keyword search (with a date range and filters such as hot, original or verified users) and the hot search list.
How much can Weibo search return?
Up to about 20 posts a page, up to 50 pages. Text in search results can be truncated and carries no engagement counts; for the full text and like, comment and repost counts, call the post endpoint with the post's ID.
Do I need a Weibo account or cookies?
No. All you need is a Qovia API key: no accounts, cookies, proxies or request signing to maintain.
How is it billed?
Prepaid and per call: only successful calls that return data are charged, and empty results, errors and timeouts are not. Every response says what it cost (meta.charged_usd). Each endpoint's price is in the API reference.
Can I use it from Claude, Cursor or other AI tools?
Yes. Qovia is also an MCP server (https://api.qovia.ai/mcp): add it to Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with your API key and the AI finds the endpoint, pulls the data and summarises it.
What should I keep in mind when using the data?
Qovia provides a data API service and claims no ownership of the underlying content. Use the data under applicable law and Weibo's platform rules; see our terms of service.
