FAQ

Do I need a Bilibili account? No. Why so few comments per video? Without login Bilibili returns only the top comments; video and user data are complete. Can I search in English? Yes, but Chinese keywords return the most results.

Limitations

Logged-out Bilibili exposes only the top few comments per video, so comment depth is limited; video details come from search and popular lists. Some endpoints throttle and are retried.

Also useful for
