Bilibili Trending Videos Scraper

Collect the videos on Bilibili's popular list right now. Each row is a trending video with its rank, cover image, title, creator, category, views, likes, coins, shares, favorites, danmaku and publish time.

No login, no cookies, no browser needed. Results are saved as a dataset you can download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read through the Apify API. The first column of the table is the thumbnail image.

What you get

• The live popular list, in Bilibili's order, with a rank number.
• Full engagement: views, likes, coins, shares, favorites, comments and danmaku.
• Creator, category, sub-category, video size, short link and the recommendation reason.
• Schedule it daily or hourly to build a trend history.

Who uses this actor

• Daily trend tracking for Chinese video.
• Spot rising creators and topics early.
• Content ideas and competitor watching.
• Datasets for trend analysis.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab. The fields already hold a working example.
2. Click Start. Small runs finish in seconds.
3. Open the Output tab to see the table, then export it or connect it to your tools.

If something cannot be read, for example an unknown user or a video that does not exist, the run still finishes successfully and says what was wrong in the run status message, with an example of a working input. Results are saved while the run is going, so you can start using them straight away.

Input

Field	Name	Required	Default	What it does
maxItems	Maximum videos	no	40	How many trending videos to collect, in Bilibili's order. The list is long but not endless, so you may get fewer.

Example input

{
  "maxItems": 40
}

Tips

• Chinese keywords usually give the widest coverage. Titles and comments come back in their original language.
• The actor paces its requests to stay within Bilibili's limits, so larger runs take a little longer. Spread very large jobs over several runs or schedules.
• Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read the results through the Apify API.

FAQ

How often does the list change? Bilibili refreshes its popular list through the day. Schedule the actor to capture it as often as you need.

Can I filter by category? Not in this actor. Each row carries its category and sub-category so you can filter the dataset afterwards.

Is it legal to scrape Bilibili? The actor reads only data that Bilibili shows publicly, without logging in. Comments and profiles can contain personal data, so use the results in line with the data protection rules that apply to you and with Bilibili's terms.

Something looks wrong. What should I do? Open the run log and the run status message first; they explain what happened. If the data still looks wrong, send the run link through the Issues tab and it will be looked at.
