#### Use cases

- Analyze trending and recommended status items across feed streams.
- Monitor engagement metrics including comment and attitude counts on suggested posts.

curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/weibo/web-v2/user-recommend-timeline" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
```

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
