Q: Hello! Test users have already filled in 15 more fields. Some people don’t need them anymore. Can they be replaced?

A: After adding a test user, replacement is not supported for the time being. Please add with caution.


#Q: How do developers correctly face frequency restrictions? How to avoid it?

A: First of all, Weibo API technology is an HTTP polling (POLLING) protocol, not a real-time push protocol. Therefore, even if the refresh frequency is increased, the effect of obtaining the latest information immediately cannot be fully achieved.

Based on experience, we recommend that the update frequency is 2-3 minutes/time. The API client can also provide a manual refresh button so that users can manually obtain the latest data. The API client can intelligently control the request frequency. For example, if the data has not been obtained in the last few updates, the interval can be appropriately extended. When there are many remaining times within an hour, the update can be accelerated appropriately. When the number of remaining requests is small, the client controls not to exceed the upper limit by extending its update frequency. In addition, some spare indicators should be left appropriately to prevent the user from exceeding the upper limit due to calls generated by manually performing some operations.


#Q: How is the access data calculated? Why is it different between what I detect and what is given by the background?

A: The access frequency limit is for a single user and a single IP using the App, not for the entire App. The total number of App visits is not limited.


#Q: When the user has logged into Weibo, can my application obtain the user's login status?

A: No.


Q: How to use AppKey?

A: Ordinary authorization method, add the parameter source=appkey to all URLs, such as:

curl -u user:passwordhttp://api.t.sina.com.cn/statuses/ friends_timeline.xml?source=appkey

It is recommended to execute the above command under the Linux command line to return normal results before proceeding to the next step of development. Basic Auth programming can also refer to http://www.cnblogs.com/QLeelulu/archive /2009/11/22/1607898.html, for OAuth method, please pass the Consumer key (app key) and Consumer Secret according to the OAuth protocol.


#Q: How to obtain the API access frequency restrictions of the current user and application?

A: It can be obtained by calling the account/rate_limit_status interface.


#Q: How to cancel the user's OAUTH authorization for an application by calling the interface?

A: There is currently no supported interface, and it can only be manually released by the user's application authorization in the account settings on the Weibo page.


Q: The end_session interface does not work when called. How to log out the current user?

A: Currently, this interface only supports official widgets and other web applications. Third-party developers cannot use this interface to exit the user's login status on Weibo.


Q: I want to make a personal website. There will be a column in the website where you can see my Weibo messages, so that others can also see it when they look at my personal website. I posted on Weibo. Now the question is, can I retrieve the information directly without logging in and authenticating?

A: This method is currently not supported. It is recommended to use Weibo components such as Weibo live broadcast, Weibo show, and comment box. Reference address: http://open.weibo.com/widgets


Q: An error occurs when obtaining user authorization: redirect_uri_mismatch. How to solve it?

A: This is caused by an error in filling in the callback address. Solution:

  • In-site application: redirect_uri is equal to the "site application address" in the application information instead of the "application actual address" ”;
  • Other applications: redirect_uri needs to be the same as http://open.weibo.com/apps/30871*****/info/advanced (30871***** is replaced with the AppKey of your application) The "Application Callback Page" in the application's advanced information exactly matches or is under the bound domain name.

Note: It will take about half an hour to take effect after modifying the application callback page or binding the domain name.


Q: Hello, as a developer, I found a problem when calling the api interface. That is, when I bind a user account, I want to get the current account. A: When providing user information, the Users/show method provided by the API must pass in a userid. What is this?

Userid (Uid) refers to the number unique to each Weibo user domain name.


#Q: How to set the hosts when opening?

A: There is no need to set hosts for access.


#Q: How to encode url parameters and return values? Why does my return value keep reporting an error?

A: The url parameters must be UTF8 encoded and url encoded, and the returned results must be UTF8 encoded.


#Q: Is the page parameter wrong?

A: Page turning parameters all start from 1, not 0.


Q: What languages ​​does the Weibo developer platform support?

A: The Weibo developer platform uses the HTTP protocol and has nothing to do with language. To facilitate development, we provide SDKs for some languages.


Q: How to solve the image compression problem?

A: Developers can try the following methods:

  • If the maximum side of the original image exceeds 1600 pixels, it will be reduced to the maximum side of 1600 pixels, otherwise it will be saved as it is;
  • If you need to reduce the size (the maximum side does not exceed 1600), the png format picture will be converted to jpeg, and the gif picture will take the first frame and save it in gif format;
  • Use when saving the jpeg format picture. 85% compression rate;


Q: What are the solutions to common problems when API posts pictures to Weibo?

A: Encoding UTF-8, Chinese Encode. The content of the image, the pic parameter, does not participate in the signature (and is not assembled in the baseString during signature calculation).


#Q: Is there a problem with authorizing multiple accounts with the same browser?

A: The user needs to log out and log in again before authorizing.


#Q: How to obtain authorization to log in and bind to your own website members?

A: When obtaining AccessToken, the uid of the authorized user will be returned. This value will not change. You can add a column called user_id in the database. If there is no corresponding value in the database, add a new user. If anyone finds it and logs in.


#Q: When the Weibo session is not invalid, how can I make a prompt to change my account appear when I log in to my website?

A: Add the forcelogin parameter on the authorization link and set the forcelogin parameter to true.


#Q: The number of interface calls is 0?

A: The number of interface calls created by applications created on the same day will not be counted until the next day. Sharing applications are not included in the number of interface calls.


Q: PHPSDK authorization authentication error Token is illegal?

A: callback.php cannot get the value of $SESSION['keys']. The encoding format in the PHP SDK should be changed to UTF-8 without BOM format, otherwise Warning: Cannot send session cookie will appear. - headers already sent warning message. When saving, use UTF-8 BOM-free encoding format. When PHP processes the BOM header, sometimes there are errors, which may cause an error that the file has been output when you use functions such as header or session_start. Most of the time it is because the BOM header is sent out. Because in php's view, it becomes a space. So use BOM-free format.


Q: Why did I fail to log in to Weibo with my Weibo ID?

A: In order to prevent users from scanning their accounts, now UIDs with more than 10 digits can only be logged in via email.


#Q: How to query the number of interface calls for a shared application?

A: The sharing window was created before the API and does not follow the API. Currently, the AppKey in the sharing button is only used to display the source. Therefore, it will not be counted in the number of API calls. Some sharing applications will find that the number of times they call the interface is 0 and there are no users. This is the reason.


#Q: The API interface returns The server returned an invalid or incomplete response. Please try again later.

A: This error is caused by domestic network and foreign network There is a prompt for illegal content during interaction. Please check whether a foreign server proxy is used.


#Q: How to splice the web address of a single Weibo post?

A: Obtain the user's uid in the program, call statuses/querymid to obtain the user's MID, and splice it into http://weibo.com/uid/mid. For example, UID=12345, mid=abcde, then the web page The version address is: http://weibo.com/12345/abcde


Q: How to apply for Refresh Token?

A: Not open yet.


#Q: How can the trends/statuses interface get all the topics?

A: Use with count page parameters. The maximum count value is 50.


#Q: How to solve the problem that the application callback page has been reviewed and modified but does not take effect after binding the domain name and other application information?

A: After an audited application modifies the basic information of the application and clicks "Save", it will automatically be submitted for "second review". The modified information will not take effect until the "second review" is passed.


#Q: The application platform cannot pass the SESSION value, will the session in the iframe be lost?

A: You can refer to http://t.cn/aWJFbv to solve the problem.


Q: What are the standards for sharing pictures?

A: The standards are as follows:

  • The picture must appear in the tag of the html file. Pictures written by JS cannot be captured;
  • The picture size is larger than 92x92, the file size is less than 500k;
  • Image files can be successfully accessed by http requests, and there is no anti-leeching mechanism;
  • There is also a certain identification and scoring mechanism for image quality, the size is greater than 92 but the quality score is very low Pictures may also be ignored;

Light Application

Q: What is the difference between the light application address and the actual application address?

A: Light application address: This address is the basic address of the application displayed on Weibo. Application actual address: This address is the actual address of the third-party application. The Weibo server will send a request to this address to obtain application content.


#Q: I want to migrate the application with the same name to a light application. Do I have to delete the original application first and then re-create the light application? Is it the same as opening a new application and all the original records will be cleared?

A: Hello, if you are unwilling to discard the previously accumulated data, the platform staff can help you complete the migration, provided that your light application version has been developed.


Q: When we were making light applications, we had normal access during development, and other test accounts could also access normally. When submitting for review, you said that you could not access normally, like this The problem cannot be reproduced, how should I check and eliminate it?

A: We will conduct multi-environment testing on your application. You can check the code and submit it again. If you still have any questions, please provide your contact information and our staff will communicate with you.


#Q: What are the page requirements for light applications to achieve high adaptability?

A: JS checks the application height and uses document.body.clientHeight to obtain it. Therefore, there will be problems in calculating the height in the following situations. Developers are advised to avoid:

  • Application settings The style html, body { height: 100%;}, in this case, document.body.clientHeight obtains the height of the realizable area of ​​​​the iframe, excluding the part blocked by the scroll bar;
  • The application uses floating layout, but the floats are not cleared;
  • The application uses absolute positioning, and the lower edge of the absolutely positioned element exceeds the lower edge of the non-floating area;


Q: My application hopes to pop up a floating layer in the center, but since the height is adaptive, how can the application obtain the coordinates of the area displayed by the current application in the browser?

A: There is currently no solution. Due to cross-domain, it is currently impossible to obtain the current scroll bar position of the application framework. If the overlay appears, try to display it near the mouse interaction position.


Q: After running my application in Safari 5.1.4, I found that cookies were not written successfully. What is the reason?

A: Caused by Safari’s security policy. Starting from V5.1.4, Safari has changed its security policy and does not allow pages within iframes to write cookies, as shown below:

The light application happens to be a technical solution using iframe, so if the application uses cookies to record certain information, you will find that it is never saved. There is currently no good solution to this problem. The solution is to temporarily jump out of the on-site application frame when writing cookies, then jump back after the writing is completed. Please refer to the example: http://apps.weibo.com/zhannei/safari_fix


Q: The light application uses iframe. After the page in the iframe jumps, how to refresh or After bookmarking and entering the page again, the URL after the jump is still maintained?

A: In-site applications support address mapping, that is, there is a mapping relationship between the URL of your in-site application and the actual path. For example:

  • http://apps.weibo.com/demo The actual embedded iframe address is http://www.demo.com
  • http://apps.weibo .com/demo/test.html The actual embedded iframe is http://www.demo.com/test.html
  • http://apps.weibo.com/demo/test.php?param1= The actual embedded iframe of abc is http://www.demo.com/test.php?param1=abc

In the application, the jump link needs to be written as http://apps.weibo.com /demo/**** like this, and then set the target="_top" of the link. If there are too many such links in the page, a permanent solution is to add a line in <head></head>: <base target="_blank" />. This actually allows the application to jump to the parent frame every time, thus realizing the function of remembering the address bar.


#Q: I have created an on-site application, how can I access the professional version of Weibo?

A: Now you can create light applications in a unified manner.


#Q: Are light applications forced to be deployed on SAE?

A: Recommended, but not mandatory.


Application authorization issues

Q: What is the difference between Weibo OAuth and Basic Auth?

A: Oauth is a relatively safe method. You need to open the page and display the SINA domain name in the browser to confirm that the user is authorizing access to a third-party application on the Weibo page; OAuth and Basic Auth The difference between the two methods is that Oauth is a relatively common and secure authentication method that does not require username and password, only user authorization; Basic Auth is an authentication based on username and password, and the user needs to be brought with each visit. username and password.


Q: Can the OAuth1.0 authorization method continue to be used?

A: Currently, unauthorized applications are prohibited from using OAuth1.0 authorization and V1 interface. Around September 2012, all applications will be prohibited from using OAuth1.0 authorization and V1 interface. We recommend the more secure and stable OAuth2.0 authorization method. The use of OAuth1.0 authorization method will be completely prohibited soon.


#Q: How long is the validity period of AccessToken?

A: Currently OAuth1.0 has been offline, and its access token can no longer be used; OAuth2.0 is valid for 24 hours for unaudited applications, and is valid for at least 30 days for audited applications. Different application levels have different validity periods. Details See: authorization mechanism.


#Q: What is the application authorization elastic layer for in-site applications and how to set it up?

A: Please follow the application user authorization method, address: http://t.cn/aYzHgm.


Q: How should I apply for XAuth authorization?

A: For user security reasons, Xauth is no longer officially supported. It is recommended that you use the Oauth2.0 authorization method.


Q: How to transition from OAuth1.0 to OAuth2.0, and how to update the Access_token of OAuth1.0 authorized by the user to OAuth2.0?

A: OAuth2.0 is an upgrade to the OAuth1.0 protocol. Sina Open Platform has made some adjustments to the Access_token strategy based on the modification of the official protocol (http://oauth.net/2/). Currently, there is no relevant interface support for directly exchanging OAuth1.0 Access_token for OAuth2.0 Access_token. The Access_token of OAuth2.0 can only be obtained after the user authorizes it again.


Q: The Access_token of OAuth2.0 has an expiration problem. How should we obtain a new Access_token when it expires?

A: The default expiration time of OAuth2.0 Access_token is 30 days (30*24 hours). You can calculate the expiration time returned to you by the authorization interface. If the user authorization has expired, please guide the user. Authorize again.


Q: How to add an application callback page during OAuth2.0 authorization?

A: Please add the application callback page address in Application Information—>Advanced Information—>Authorization Settings.


Q: Others see in the authorization management of the account settings that the author of the application I developed is my real name, not my Weibo nickname, and there is no hyperlink. Where does this need to be set?

A: Fill in the information in the "Personal Homepage" on the developer information page.


Q: During OAuth authentication, you have to go to the authorization webpage to obtain the authorization code before you can obtain the AccessToken. Is it necessary to go through such an authentication process every time you log in to the DIY client? ?

A: The same user can directly access the corresponding Accesstoken. Just call the interface directly.


#Q: What is the application authorization elastic layer for in-site applications and how to set it up?

A: Please follow the application user authorization method, address: http://t.cn/aYzHgm


Q: applications appear after user authorization How to solve the over the unaudited use restrictions error?

A: For unaudited applications, only the application creator and test users can call the interface. How to add test users: log in to the developer account and click to enter http://open.weibo.com/apps/30871*****/ info/advanced (replace 30871***** with the AppKey of your application), just add a test user at the bottom. You can only add up to 15 digits and cannot be modified after adding. Note: It will take about half an hour for the modification to take effect.
