Weibospider
Weibospider is a distributed web crawler designed to extract posts, profiles, and interaction data from the Weibo social network. It functions as a social media data extractor that utilizes a distributed task queue to scale scraping operations across multiple worker nodes.
The system includes a graphical administrative interface for configuring crawler settings, target user identifiers, and search keywords. It employs a distributed architecture to increase data throughput and manage large-scale collection of social media content.
The tool covers a wide range of data collection capabilities, including user profile harvesting, keyword-based search extraction, and the mapping of social graphs through follower lists, comments, and reposts. It also features mechanisms for request rate regulation, account rotation, and recurring task automation to maintain session persistence and continuous data collection.
