# Weibo Media Crawler

Weibo Media Crawler collects Weibo posts and creator evidence using MediaCrawler with search, exact post IDs, comments, optional media, and creator IDs. Use it for discourse, trend, messaging, audience-language, or account research that requires preserved provenance and risk-aware detail enrichment.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/tsingyuai/growth-lab/tree/main/collectors/media-crawler-weibo ~/.claude/skills/media-crawler-weibo
```

## README

# Weibo collection

Follow [media-crawler](../media-crawler/SKILL.md). Define research purpose, keywords/post IDs/creator IDs, sample and time bounds, comments/media scope, and invoking Model Memory destination.

Search with `--platform wb --type search`; set `WEIBO_SEARCH_TYPE` deliberately. Use direct problem, category and audience/event query variants, then shortlist by relevance, time, source/account fit, content form and engagement. Configure exact post IDs in `WEIBO_SPECIFIED_ID_LIST` and user IDs in `WEIBO_CREATOR_ID_LIST`; run detail/creator mode.

`ENABLE_WEIBO_FULL_TEXT` makes extra detail requests and raises risk-control probability. Keep it off during broad discovery and enable it only for a small, explicit shortlist when full text is required. Treat repost text, original text and comments as different evidence. Deduplicate by post ID and preserve query provenance.

Return exact inputs, full-text/comment/media flags, raw/copied paths, coverage, time, commit, selection rationale and risk-control/partial failures.
