Bilibili Scraper 哔哩哔哩 — Search, Videos, Danmaku & Rankings

Scrape public data from Bilibili (B站), China's biggest video community, without logging in and without cookies.

• 🔎 Keyword search: up to 1,000 videos per keyword, with the same sort and length filters as the Bilibili search page.
• 🎬 Video details: views, likes, coins (投币), favorites, shares, danmaku count, comment count, tags, parts (分P), description, cover, uploader.
• 💬 Danmaku (弹幕, bullet comments): text, time in the video, sent time, position and colour. The actor merges Bilibili's XML pool with the per-segment feed, so you get more danmaku per video than from the XML file alone.
• 👤 Uploader (UP主) videos: all videos of a channel, newest first, plus the uploader's follower count.
• 🔥 Popular (综合热门) and ranking lists (排行榜): the whole site or any of 14 categories, the same lists as bilibili.com/v/popular/rank.

Typical uses: tracking trends and competitors in China, influencer research, sentiment analysis of danmaku, building datasets for AI/LLM training and research.

How to use

1. Add one or more of: search keywords, video URLs, uploader IDs, popular, ranking lists.
2. Optionally turn on Full video details and/or Danmaku.
3. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or via the API.

Input examples

Search, most viewed first:

{
    "searchQueries": ["原神", "machine learning"],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 200,
    "searchOrder": "click"
}

Danmaku of specific videos (b23.tv short links, BV IDs and av numbers also work):

{
    "videoUrls": ["https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dAxE6VErW"],
    "includeDanmaku": true,
    "maxDanmakuPerVideo": 5000
}

All videos of two uploaders, plus today's popular list and the gaming ranking:

{
    "userIds": ["https://space.bilibili.com/401742377", "546195"],
    "maxVideosPerUser": 500,
    "popular": true,
    "rankingCategories": ["1008"]
}

Output

Each video is one row with "type": "video". Danmaku are separate rows with "type": "danmaku" and the bvid of their video, so CSV and Excel exports stay flat. The Videos and Danmaku tabs of the dataset show each kind as a table.

source tells you where a video came from (search:<keyword>, user:<mid>, popular, ranking:<category> or url) and rank is its position there.

Which fields are filled depends on the source:

Field	Search	Uploader	Popular / ranking	Video URL or "Full video details"
views, title, cover, length, date	✅	✅	✅	✅
likes, favorites, danmaku and comment counts	✅	—	✅	✅
coins, shares	—	—	✅	✅
tags	✅	—	—	✅
parts (分P)	—	—	—	✅
uploader followers	—	✅	—	—

Pricing

Pay only for what you get — no monthly rental:

What	Price
Video	$2.00 per 1,000 videos ($0.002 each)
Danmaku	$0.10 per 1,000 danmaku ($0.0001 each)

Set a maximum cost per run in the run options; the actor stops cleanly when it is reached and keeps everything scraped so far.

Tips and limits

• Speed: about 10 videos per second for search, uploader, popular and ranking lists. "Full video details" and danmaku need extra requests per video, so they are slower.
• Search returns at most 1,000 results per keyword (Bilibili's own limit). Use several keywords or sort orders to get more.
• Danmaku: Bilibili does not publish every danmaku ever sent on very popular videos; the actor returns everything Bilibili serves for each part (分P), de-duplicated.
• Comments (评论) are not included: Bilibili shows visitors who are not logged in only the first 3 comments of a video.
• Category is empty for videos from uploader lists and video URLs, because Bilibili no longer returns it there; search, popular and ranking results include it.
• Proxy: not needed for normal runs. If Bilibili blocks a very large run, turn on Apify Proxy in the input.
