Weibo profile
Profile header + publication metrics for a Weibo (微博) user.
Provide exactly one of user_id (the numeric uid in weibo.com/u/<uid>) or
url (any weibo.com profile URL, /u/<uid>, /<uid>, /n/<nickname>, or a
vanity /<custom-domain>). Returns profile_info only (no post feed): identity,
follower/following/post counts, verification, and the account's lifetime
aggregate engagement (total comments/reposts/likes).
Weibo's search surface withholds engagement counts. Those fields come back null on search results and are flagged, rather than being filled with zeros. Read a post through the details endpoint to get its counts.
The example response below is real output from this endpoint, not an illustration. Long lists and long strings are shortened to keep the page readable, and each place that happens is marked. This example took 4.9s.
