Weibo (微博) is where Chinese news breaks and public opinion forms, and its hot search list is watched by every newsroom and brand team in the country. The official API has been closed to new developers for years. Through AgentKey your agent reads public Weibo data the same way it reads everything else — find_tools, describe_tool, execute_tool — with more than one provider behind the scenes, so one route failing does not stop the task.

​

How to use it

Pass the request in plain language and let the router pick the tool:
Both English and Chinese phrasing work, and the platform’s usual English and Chinese names all land here. Always describe_tool before executing — parameters and per-call costs differ between providers.
Building with code? The same capability is available as fixed-contract Scenario Methods with automatic provider failover: social.weibo.post.search, social.weibo.post.get, social.weibo.post.comments, social.weibo.topic.search, social.weibo.user.get, social.weibo.user.posts, social.weibo.user.search, social.weibo.trending.

FAQ

No. AgentKey holds the upstream access; your agent only needs your AgentKey subscription.
One search route mirrors Weibo’s own advanced search, which filters by day and hour, so the agent passes a start and end time with the keyword. Other search routes do not require one; describe_tool shows which is which.
Every call goes to Weibo at request time, so the ranking is what Weibo shows at that moment; the hot ranking timeline route gives the recent history of the list.
