What is Bilibili Video Scraper?

A Bilibili video API alternative for tracking how videos perform, comparing creators and following what trends in China. Paste video URLs, BV IDs or av IDs — or pick a ranking — and export JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it by API.

• Videos — any number of links or IDs, one full row each.
• Trending — the Bilibili popular list or a category ranking (top 100) with the same full stats.

How much does it cost?

Row	Price
Video (full stats)	$0.002 — $2 per 1,000
Search result (or a video from an uploader's list)	$0.001 — $1 per 1,000
Uploader profile	$0.003 — $3 per 1,000
Danmaku comment	$0.0002 — $0.2 per 1,000
Comment or reply	$0.001 — $1 per 1,000

No start fee and no proxy charge. Error rows are never billed. Maximum rows per run is a hard ceiling on the bill.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Bilibili account, cookies or a proxy?

No. The Actor reads what bilibili.com shows any visitor who is not logged in. If Bilibili answers with a risk-control check, the request is retried on a fresh visitor session and, if needed, through Apify Proxy — by itself.

Does it work with Chinese keywords?

Yes. Search accepts Chinese, English or any other text: 原神, iphone 17, minecraft. Titles and descriptions come back as published, usually in Chinese.

How many comments can I get?

Bilibili shows a visitor who is not logged in only the first few top-level comments of a video. The Actor returns those comments together with all of their replies, so a popular video still gives dozens to hundreds of rows. Danmaku have no such limit.

Is it legal to scrape Bilibili?

The Actor reads only public pages without logging in. User names and comments are personal data under laws like the GDPR and PIPL — have a lawful reason to process them.

Can I get only new rows on a schedule?

Yes. Give Monitoring mode a name and schedule the Actor: every run returns only videos, danmaku or comments not delivered before under that name.
