## Pricing

from $2.02 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Bilibili Scraper: Views, Coins, Danmaku & Tags per Video

**Bilibili Scraper** - Get Bilibili video stats from search, the popular list or links, with a new-video feed for schedules.

### What does Bilibili Scraper do?

Returns coins, shares, danmaku count, tags and uploader followers per video, and an only-new mode that gives just the videos not seen in the last run.

- Keyword search with sort by views, newest, danmaku or favorites
- Popular list and direct video links, BV ids and b23.tv short links
- Views, likes, coins, shares, favorites, danmaku count, tags, publish time
- Only-new mode with views gained since the last run for schedules
- Same input and output field names as truefetch/bilibili-video-downloader - switch by changing the actor id

### Who uses Bilibili Scraper, and for what

- Marketers - watch which videos trend for a keyword in China every morning
- Creators - compare views, coins and danmaku of competing videos
- Researchers - export search results and tags of a topic
- Programs - poll one keyword on a schedule and receive only new videos

### Why this Bilibili Scraper?

Downloader-style tools fail for researchers because they cannot search or list videos and return file info they do not need. This Bilibili Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

### Data you get from Bilibili Scraper

### How to use Bilibili Scraper

1. Press **Start** - the form already holds an example that works.
2. Put in your own input (see the fields on the Input tab).
3. Run it once, or put it on an **Apify Schedule** (with **only new** on, where the form has it) to get just what is new every day; add a **webhookUrl** to get each run's rows sent to your own system, Zapier, Make or Slack.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, the Apify API or an AI agent (Apify MCP server).

One flat row per result.

### Built for pipelines

- **Field names never change** - fixes and new features only ever add fields, so your code keeps working.
- **Every row has the same shape** - a missing value is `null`, never a dropped field.
- **A plain status line** on every run - how many results, and on a problem what to change in the input - for your logs and for AI agents.
- **Runs on its own** - put it on an Apify Schedule and add a `webhookUrl`: each run's rows go straight to your system, Zapier, Make or Slack.

### How much does Bilibili Scraper cost?

You pay only per result (pay per event) - no monthly fee, no minimum, and the price per result is lower on Apify's Bronze, Silver and Gold plans. The exact price is on the **Pricing** tab. Apify's free plan credit is enough to try it on real input.

| You want | What you pay for |
|---|---|
| A quick test with the example | a few results |
| A daily scheduled run | only the rows that run returns |
| A big one-off export | the results delivered - set a maximum in the input |

### FAQ

**Does Bilibili Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only.

**Can I run Bilibili Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

**Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

**Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

**What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

**Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - Bilibili Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

### Troubleshooting

- **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
- **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and Bilibili Scraper never logs in.
- **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.

### Your feedback

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
