Look up a Weibo user by numeric UID or /u/ profile link. Get display name, bio, gender, follower, following and post counts, and any verification note. Handles are not accepted, and the badge does not vouch for the person. Follower lists are not included.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to weibo and action set to profile. Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Weibo Details endpoint (weibo/profile).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to weibo and action to profile, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- user_id: Specifies the target Weibo user via their numeric UID or a profile URL containing /u/numeric_UID for the profile action.
- Returns one object. Main fields: user_id, display_name, url, bio, gender, follower_count, following_count, post_count, is_verified, verified_reason (Verification description of the account…), avatar_url, cover_image_url; 14 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=weibo.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "weibo",
"action": "profile",
"params": {
"user_id": "1749127163"
}
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Weibo: Definitions of UID, Nickname, and Followed Counts ↗
Official Weibo documentation defines `uid` / `screen_name` as user ID / nickname, `friends_count` as followed count, and `followers_count` as follower count. Nickname query options in official APIs do not mean the `user_id` on this page supports nickname resolution; the fields returned are the ones documented here and depend on actual results.
