# Project abandoned

Hi, I've moved over to [easoncxz/weibo-export](https://github.com/easoncxz/weibo-export) for a rewrite of this project in Haskell. Please use that instead of this repo.

# About

A basic, shallow Weibo downloader.

The downloaded JSON format is almost entirely what `m.weibo.cn` endpoints

returns, only with boilerplate removed.  Refer to [open.weibo.com][api-docs]

for an idea of what each field means. This script uses the endpoint used by the

`m.weibo.cn` mobile web app instead of the API, because the API limits

responses to only 5 statuses.

This script is intended only for a basic, baseline download, to at least save

the text in your Weibo statuses. In particular, data like uploaded images,

comments, reposts etc. are no included in the downloaded data.

    $ python weibo_export.py --help

    Usage: weibo_export.py [OPTIONS] COOKIE

      Download Weibo statuses

      COOKIE should be the HTTP header value sent in the request, in URL-encoded

      form (RFC 3986).  This means it would contain information for all cookie

      key-value pairs.  Copying from the Chrome dev console's `cookie` field

      would work.

      Example COOKIE value:

          FOO=%5B%5D; BAR=1234

    Options:

      -s, --starting-page INTEGER  which page to start from, e.g. 5

      -d, --directory PATH         directory to save downloaded JSON files

      --help                       Show this message and exit.

Preparation for usage or development:

I'll assume you have `pip` installed, e.g. via

    $ brew install python

    ...

    $ which pip

    /usr/local/bin/pip

If you use virtualenv, activate one, e.g. in a directory `.venv`:

    $ virtualenv -p python3 .venv

    ...

    $ . .venv/bin/activate

    ...

    (.venv) $

Now install dependencies:

    (.venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

You're now ready to use the script:

    (.venv) $ python weibo_export.py --help
