weibo: empty token in response: %s

Error message

weibo: empty token in response: %s

What it means

The Weibo token endpoint responded with HTTP 200 and parseable JSON, but the data.token field inside the parsed tokenResponse was empty — the server acknowledged the request without issuing a usable token (typically expired/invalid app credentials or a server-side error returned as success) during refreshToken.

Solutions

1. Inspect the full raw response body (included in the error) for an error code or message from Weibo
2. Verify the Weibo app_id and app_secret configuration
3. Retry the token request after a delay; transient Weibo API issues can return empty tokens
