# Weibo Search Users API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/weibo/search-users)

> Returns up to 50 Weibo accounts matching a name or keyword, with screen name, bio, verification and its reason, post count and gender. Weibo's search rounds follower counts, so author.followers is null here; GET /v1/weibo/profile returns the exact figure.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/weibo/search/users` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | A name or keyword, for example 华为. |
| `limit` | no | Accounts to return, 1 to 50. Default 50. |

curl -G "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/weibo/search/users" \
