Bilibili Video Metadata & Stream Extractor

Collect structured metadata and separate video and audio stream links for Bilibili videos. Process one link or a batch, then use the returned URLs in your own download or archival workflow.

How It Works

Looking for a Bilibili downloader or a practical Bilibili API alternative? Paste one or more Bilibili video URLs and collect titles, descriptions, durations, uploaders, publish dates, view counts, like counts, danmaku counts, thumbnails and direct video and audio stream links. Batch multiple videos in one run.

Use the dataset to archive content, analyse Chinese-language video metadata and build download queues for research collections. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull results through the Apify API. Start with one video, then pay from $2.50 per 1,000 videos.

What You Get

• Video identity: Bilibili ID, title, description, uploader, upload date, duration and thumbnail
• Engagement: views, likes and danmaku counts
• Best video and audio stream URLs with quality and bandwidth
• Every available video and audio stream for flexible quality selection
• Stream expiry time so you know when a fresh run is needed
• Batch processing with one dataset row per video
