## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Bilibili Scraper: Videos, Comments, Danmaku (弹幕) & Native Subtitles

Scrape **Bilibili (哔哩哔哩 / B站)** by keyword or URL, video search, video details, comments, UP主 (creator) profiles, **danmaku (弹幕 bullet-comments)**, **native subtitle transcripts**, and trending. **No cookies. No login.** Give it a keyword or a plain video link and it returns clean, structured JSON, and you pay only for the results you get back.

This is the only Bilibili scraper on Apify that extracts both **raw danmaku bullets** and Bilibili's **native subtitle track** as a transcript, instantly, at any video length, with no cookie and no audio re-transcription.

***

### What is Bilibili?

Bilibili (哔哩哔哩, "B站") is one of China's largest video platforms, 300M+ monthly users, huge in anime, gaming, tech, and education. Its signature feature is **danmaku (弹幕)**: real-time comments that scroll across the video as it plays. Bilibili also has its own engagement metrics, **coins (投币)** and **favorites (收藏)** on top of the usual views, likes, and replies, all of which this scraper captures.

### Is there an official Bilibili API?

There is no public, international Bilibili API. Bilibili's developer platform requires Chinese phone verification and is heavily rate-limited, and most public data sits behind WBI request signing. This actor is the practical **Bilibili API alternative**: it handles the signing and returns structured JSON with zero authentication, no cookie, no account, no proxy setup.

***

### What data can you extract from Bilibili?

Pick a mode with the **What to scrape** dropdown. Each mode is billed as its own event, and you only pay for results returned.

| Mode | Input | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| **Keyword search → videos** | keyword(s) | Videos: title, description, views, likes, coins, favorites, danmaku count, replies, author, duration, tags, category |
| **Video detail** | video URL / BV id | Full video: all engagement stats, owner, category, publish date, resolution, copyright (original/repost), and the full **per-part (分P) breakdown** (every episode's `cid`, title, duration) |
| **Video comments** | video URL / BV id | Comments: text, likes, reply count, author, timestamp, **IP location (归属地)**, commenter level/VIP/verified, whether the **UP主 liked/replied**, and up to 3 free reply previews per comment |
| **Danmaku (弹幕)** | video URL / BV id | Bullet-comments: text, timestamp in the video, send time, mode, color |
| **Transcript (native CC)** | video URL / BV id | Native subtitle track parsed into timed segments + joined full text |
| **UP主 profile** | space URL / UID | Creator card: name, avatar, signature, level, fans, following, verification, VIP |
| **UP主 videos** | space URL / UID | Every video a creator posted: title, views, danmaku count, duration, category, `cid`, publish date |
| **Trending** | (none) | Trending videos (热门) or hot search terms (热搜) |

#### Two things no other Bilibili scraper does well

- **Raw danmaku (弹幕).** Bilibili's scrolling bullet-comments are a data source no other platform has. Each call returns a full danmaku pool, often **1,000+ bullets**, each with its exact timestamp in the video, so you can map audience reaction to the moment it happened. (Other actors only sell an aggregated "reaction profile"; this returns the raw bullets.)
- **Native transcripts.** When a video has a Bilibili subtitle track (including the auto-generated `ai-zh` one), this actor returns it directly as timed segments and full text, **instantly, at any length**. No audio download, no speech-to-text step, no 5-minute cap.

***

### How do I scrape Bilibili? (3 steps)

1. **Pick a mode** in **What to scrape** (search, video detail, comments, danmaku, transcript, profile, UP主 videos, or trending).
2. **Give it input**, one or more keywords for search, or Bilibili video URLs / BV ids (e.g. `BV1rpWjevEip`) for the video modes, or a UP主 space URL / UID for profile and UP主 videos.
3. **Run it** and collect the structured results from the dataset (via the Console, the Apify API, or your language client).

***

### Input

| Field | Used by | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `searchType` | all | `"danmaku"` |
| `keywords` | search | `["编程", "游戏"]` |
| `videoUrls` | video detail, comments, danmaku, transcript | `["https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1rpWjevEip"]` |
| `userUrls` | profile, UP主 videos | `["https://space.bilibili.com/178360345"]` |
| `maxItems` | search, comments, UP主 videos, trending | `50` |
| `sortOrder` | search | `"totalrank"` (or `click`, `pubdate`, `dm`, `stow`) |
| `includeReplies` | comments | `false` (ON also fetches full reply threads; each reply billed as one comment, capped by `maxItems`) |
| `durationFilter` | search | `"any"` (or `short`, `medium`, `long`, `verylong`) |
| `publishedAfter` / `publishedBefore` | search | `"2020-01-01"` / `"2020-12-31"` (free date-range filter) |
| `trendType` | trending | `"videos"` or `"keywords"` |

Video inputs accept a full URL (`https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV…`) or a bare **BV id** (`BV1rpWjevEip`).

**Example: danmaku from one video**

```json
{
  "searchType": "danmaku",
  "videoUrls": ["https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1rpWjevEip"]
}
```

### Use cases

- **Trend & topic research**: search a keyword, rank by plays or danmaku, track what's rising.
- **Audience reaction analysis**: pull raw danmaku with timestamps to find the exact moments viewers reacted.
- **Content & subtitle mining**: grab native transcripts for summarization, translation, or search indexing.
- **Creator (UP主) research**: profiles with fans, level, and verification for influencer shortlists.
- **Comment analysis**: sentiment and themes from a video's comment threads.

### Use it with AI agents and MCP

Every Apify actor is callable from the Apify API and from AI agent frameworks (MCP, LangChain, and similar), so this scraper can feed a Bilibili research or monitoring agent directly.

***

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Bilibili?** This actor only accesses publicly available data through Bilibili's public endpoints, the same data any visitor sees without logging in. It does not bypass authentication or access private data. Review your local laws and Bilibili's terms of service for your use case.

**Is there an official Bilibili API?** No public international one, see above. This actor is the practical alternative, with no authentication.

**What is danmaku (弹幕)?** Real-time comments that scroll across a Bilibili video as it plays. This actor returns them as raw bullets with the exact timestamp each one appears.

**Can I get a video's transcript?** Yes, the transcript mode returns Bilibili's native subtitle track (including auto-generated `ai-zh`) as timed segments and full text, at any video length.

**Can I use it from Python or JavaScript?** Yes. Call the actor with the Apify client for your language (`apify-client`) and read the results from the run's dataset.

**How much does it cost?** See the pricing table above, per result, per mode, with 20% off on Gold+ plans and free failed lookups.
