Warning

(This API will be removed in the future.)

The Weibo Service allows users to retrieve or publish data to Weibo. Visit https://open.weibo.com to create a new app or manage existing apps.

Try it in the sample app

App Setup

Go to 我的应用(my apps) and select your app. Then click the 应用信息(app info) tab on the left sidebar you will be able to find the following fields:

App Key Copy this from the 应用基本信息(basic information) section on your application page.

App Secret Copy this from the 应用基本信息(basic information) section on your application page.

Secure Domains Due to the restriction by Weibo API, a status you post must include a url which starts with "http"/"https". You can add a url to the list of secure domains in the 应用基本信息(basic information) section on your application page.

Redirect URI Enter a unique URI for your application. This must match the Redirect URL field in the OAuth2.0 授权设置(OAuth 2.0 Authorization Settings) section on the 高级信息(advanced Info) page. You can visit the page by clicking on the left sidebar. Example: https://myapp.company.com - (this does not have to be a working URL)
