AI product readWeibo Data Backup
Allows users to export and save their own or others' Weibo posts locally, addressing the need for data preservation or offline reading of Weibo content.
1. User logs into weibo.cn in their browser. 2. User navigates to a weibo.cn user profile page. 3. User clicks the extension popup. 4. The extension auto-detects the user ID from the URL (or allows manual entry). 5. The extension reads weibo.cn cookies from the browser. 6. It iterates through paginated posts, scraping content and engagement metrics. 7. Data is periodically saved as a local .xlsx file.

- Target users
- Weibo users who want to backup their own posts / Users interested in archiving public Weibo profiles
- The extension is in version 0.9.1 and may have bugs or incomplete features. The scraping logic is tightly coupled to weibo.cn's HTML structure, which may break if Weibo updates their frontend. The extension relies on browser cookies, so it only works if the user is already logged into weibo.cn in the same browser session.
MonetizationNo paid features detected
The extension is a free utility with no in-app purchase, subscription, or payment logic. It uses open-source libraries (jQuery, SheetJS/xlsx) under MIT licenses. There are no references to Stripe, PayPal, billing, upgrade prompts, or feature gating behind a paywall.

- Reason
- The extension scrapes weibo.cn and relies on the browser's existing cookies for that domain (chrome.cookies.getAll for https://weibo.cn/). Without a valid weibo.cn session (i.e., the user is logged into weibo.cn), the extension cannot fetch any weibo data. The extension itself does not implement a login UI or account system; it depends entirely on the destination service's authentication.
