Input

{
  "mode": "search",
  "keyword": "原神",
  "searchOrder": "click",
  "maxResults": 50
}

{
  "mode": "comments",
  "videos": ["https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1M1421t7hT"],
  "maxResults": 200
}

{
  "mode": "creator",
  "creators": ["https://space.bilibili.com/19286458"],
  "maxResults": 30
}

maxResults is the total number of items for the whole run. The run stops as soon as it is reached, or when the spending limit you set in the run options is used up.

Output

Every item has a type (video, comment or creator). Example video item:

{
  "type": "video",
  "bvid": "BV1M1421t7hT",
  "aid": 1054321098,
  "url": "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1M1421t7hT",
  "title": "Example video title",
  "description": "Example description",
  "authorName": "ExampleUploader",
  "authorId": 19286458,
  "authorUrl": "https://space.bilibili.com/19286458",
  "coverUrl": "https://i0.hdslb.com/example.jpg",
  "durationSeconds": 754,
  "publishedAt": "2025-01-15T09:30:00Z",
  "views": 1203400,
  "likes": 85200,
  "coins": 20100,
  "favorites": 30500,
  "shares": 4100,
  "comments": 3200,
  "danmaku": 9800,
  "category": "Gaming",
  "tags": ["game", "review"]
}

category and tags are filled for search results; video-detail items (mode video) return them empty, and search results do not include coins and shares (both are filled in mode video). Fields with no data are null.

Comment items contain text, likes, replyCount, publishedAt and the public authorName only. Personal data of commenters (user IDs, avatars, levels) is never returned. The full field list is in the dataset schema; export as JSON, CSV, Excel or via API.

Pricing

Event	What it covers	Price
Run start	charged once per run	see store page
Result	one video, comment or creator video	see store page
Profile	one creator profile	see store page

The start fee is charged once at the beginning of every run, even if a run returns few or no items. Items are charged only when they are actually returned. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops when it is reached.

FAQ

Do I need a Bilibili account or cookies? No.

Does it collect personal data? No. It returns public content and statistics. Comment authors appear by public nickname only. Phone numbers, real names and private messages are never collected.

How do I get more than one page of results? Raise maxResults; pagination is handled for you.

Can I use it through the API or on a schedule? Yes, like any Apify Actor: API, schedules, webhooks, and integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and more. It also works with AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

Are search results in Chinese? Titles, descriptions and comments are returned in the original language (mostly Chinese). Chinese keywords give the best search results.

Something looks wrong or a field is empty. Open an issue on the Actor page with the run link; the Actor is monitored daily and fixed quickly.

Is scraping legal? The Actor only returns publicly visible information. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Bilibili's terms.
