Weibo profile errors

[pxssy]

[40][ERROR] <weibo> <job.py> <\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\gallery_dl\job.py> <HttpError: '403 ' for 'https://m.weibo.cn/api/container/getIndex'>

Recently weibo has been giving all sorts of errors like this. Its either 403 or 418.

Is there any workaround?

403 errors might be due to missing Referer etc headers and
418 was weibo's 429 Too Many Requests equivalent (#431).

Try -o headers.Referer=https://m.weibo.cn/ --sleep-request 4-6. Maybe that helps.
