Tools to search social media posts

The problem, in plain words: “I need a way to find and retrieve my social media posts going back to 2008.”

Weibo-archiver fits best.

You want to locate, retrieve, and export your own social media posts going back to 2008.

Updated August 2026.

What fits

Weibo-archiverstrong · 85

Its explicit purpose is exporting and archiving a user's full Weibo post history, which directly matches the need to retrieve and preserve years of personal posts.

Best for: People who need a downloadable/archiveable copy of their Weibo post history.

Caveat: Requires installing a userscript/extension (Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey) or the companion app to run the archive process.

Partly fits

Provides one-click capture and searchable storage of saved posts and screenshots, helping rediscover collected items.

Offers a single feed of saved posts and media from across sites to prevent lost or scattered saves.

Won’t cover: Consolidates saved items but does not state it can pull a full historical archive of every post from an account dating back to 2008.

Organizes saved posts from Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms so content collectors can find saved items again.

Won’t cover: Focuses on saved content consolidation and notes, not on exporting an account's entire historical posting record.
