The Accuracy score on Weibo profile APIs
This score, out of 100, shows how much of an account's profile a provider's call returns.
- We ask for each account by the account's numeric Weibo user ID.
- We read each account's Weibo page without signing in.
- We read the Weibo pages minutes after we called RedFox and TikHub.
- We called Scrappa on November 1, eight days before we read the Weibo pages.
- A part is one field, such as the bio.
- We count a part when the Weibo page or the answer has a value for the part.
- A value of no or 0 counts.
- A blank value or an empty list doesn't.
- For each account, we divide the parts in the answer by the parts we count.
- Then we average the results over all accounts.
- Each account counts the same.
- An account the call didn't find counts as 0.
- We lower the score when we test the call on fewer accounts than the benchmark has.
