You can securely store your account credentials inside BrowserAct’s credential manager. When the workflow runs, it will automatically handle the login process before performing any data extraction.
For social media platforms, especially in China, access conditions are stricter and heavily dependent on IP environment and session stability.
BrowserAct uses dynamic residential proxies by default. However, we currently do not provide mainland China IPs, so when accessing platforms like Sina Weibo, you may experience access restrictions depending on the network environment.
For best stability, we recommend importing your own proxy that:
has the correct geographic location
has stable IP reputation
can successfully access Weibo in a normal browser session
If your proxy can access Sina Weibo manually, BrowserAct can operate through that same proxy as well.
