Error message

Weibo user bookmarks is not available due to the absense of [Weibo Cookies]. Check <a href="https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/config#route-specific-configurations">relevant config tutorial</a>

What it means

Thrown by the Weibo user bookmarks route when `config.weibo.cookies` is not set. This route fetches the authenticated user's bookmarked (collected) posts via the private container API (`https://m.weibo.cn/api/container/getIndex`). Since bookmarks are private, only the cookie owner's own bookmarks are accessible. This is a `ConfigNotFoundError`.

Solutions

Set `WEIBO_COOKIES` to a valid cookie string from a logged-in Weibo browser session.
Ensure the `uid` path parameter matches the cookie owner's own UID — you can only fetch your own bookmarks.
Follow the configuration tutorial in the error message link for cookie setup.
If cookies expire, re-extract and redeploy them.

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

// Ensure WEIBO_COOKIES is set AND the uid matches the cookie owner
if (!process.env.WEIBO_COOKIES) {
    throw new Error('WEIBO_COOKIES required for /weibo/user_bookmarks');
}
// The uid must be the cookie owner's own UID — bookmarks are private

Try / catch

try {
    const feed = await fetchRss('/weibo/user_bookmarks/' + uid);
} catch (e) {
    if (e.name === 'ConfigNotFoundError') {
        console.error('WEIBO_COOKIES not set. This route fetches private bookmarks.');
    }
    throw e;
}

Prevention

Set WEIBO_COOKIES with a valid cookie from the account whose bookmarks you want.
The uid parameter must match the cookie owner — you cannot fetch another user's bookmarks.
Re-extract cookies when they expire; bookmark routes are especially sensitive to stale sessions.
Self-host RSSHub for this route; never rely on public instances for private data.

When it happens

Trigger: A request to `/weibo/user_bookmarks/:uid/:routeParams?` on an instance without `WEIBO_COOKIES`. The guard fires at line 53 before any API call. Note: even with cookies, the route can only fetch the bookmarks of the logged-in cookie owner, not arbitrary users.

Common situations: The `WEIBO_COOKIES` environment variable is unset; the cookie has expired (Weibo cookies have limited validity); or the user is on a public instance that doesn't support private routes.
