Weibo whoami returned no user id

Error message

Weibo whoami returned no user id

What it means

The probe succeeded (ok:true) but the authenticated user's id (user_id from the /ajax/profile/info response) is missing or empty. The library requires user_id as the primary identity field for the whoami result, so it refuses to return a partial identity.

Solutions

1. Log out and log back in to weibo.com to obtain fresh SUB/SUBP cookies, then retry whoami
2. Verify the session manually in a browser — if weibo.com shows you logged out, the cookies are stale
3. Wait and retry if the account was just created/restricted; user_id may be temporarily withheld
4. Update the library if Weibo changed the field name in the profile info response

Example fix

null

// ensure session cookies exist before calling whoami
const hasSession = await hasWeiboSessionCookie(page);
if (!hasSession) throw new Error('login required: SUB/SUBP cookies missing');

function hasUserId(identity) {
  return identity !== null && typeof identity === 'object' &&
    typeof identity.user_id === 'string' && identity.user_id.length > 0;
}

try {
  identity = await verifyWeiboIdentity(page);
} catch (err) {
  if (/returned no user id/.test(err.message)) {
    // treat as expired session: trigger re-login flow
    await runWeiboLogin(page);
    identity = await verifyWeiboIdentity(page);
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Weibo returns ok:true but omits user_id — typically when the SUB/SUBP session cookies are present but invalid/expired server-side, or the profile info response is for a logged-out/limited view.

Common situations: Half-expired sessions where cookies exist but the server no longer recognizes them, freshly logged-in accounts pending full session activation, or accounts restricted by Weibo (unverified/limited) that don't expose user_id via this endpoint.
