Bilibili 哔哩哔哩 Video Scraper
Pricing
from $4.00 / 1,000 videos
Scrape Bilibili videos, creators, comments and danmaku by keyword, video ID or creator ID. Every row carries kind, bvid, title, owner_name, view, like and reply, plus comment message and danmaku progress_ms. Export JSON, CSV or Excel.
Which kind of record to collect: search finds videos by keyword; video returns full stats for specific videos; creator returns a creator's profile and follower count; creator_videos lists a creator's uploads; comments returns a video's comments; fans lists a creator's followers; dynamics reads a creator's feed; danmaku returns a video's on-screen bullet comments; media returns a download link for the video or its audio. Default search.
Search terms, one per entry — for example python. Each term returns up to max_items videos, ranked the way order says. Bilibili search ignores capitals, so terms that differ only in capitals or surrounding spaces are searched, and billed, once. Used when mode is search; leave empty for every other mode.
Videos to work on, one per entry, as a BV id (BV1wD4y1o7AS), an av id (av712020469) or the video part of a bilibili.com URL — the two id styles name the same video and both work. Used when mode is video, comments, danmaku or media; leave empty for every other mode.
Creators to work on, one numeric mid per entry — the number in a space.bilibili.com/12345 URL. Used when mode is creator, creator_videos, fans or dynamics; leave empty for every other mode.
How many records to return per keyword, video or creator, at least 1. Default 100. Comments: counts top-level comments only; with include_replies their replies (up to max_replies_per_comment each) come on top, so a run can return and bill more rows than this. Danmaku: applies to each six-minute stretch of a video, not the whole video, and with danmaku_all_parts to each stretch of every part read, so a long video returns more rows than this.
How search results are ranked: totalrank for best match, click for most viewed, pubdate for newest, dm for most bullet comments, stow for most favourited. Default totalrank. Used when mode is search.
Keep only search results of this length: any for no filter, under_10m for under ten minutes, 10_30m, 30_60m, over_60m for over an hour. Default any. Used when mode is search.
Bilibili category to restrict a search to, given as the numeric tid that appears in a category page's URL. Leave empty to search every category. Used when mode is search.
Also collect the replies under each comment, as extra rows whose parent_rpid names the comment they belong to. Default false, which returns top-level comments only. Used when mode is comments.
Most replies to collect under one comment, at least 1. Default 20. It does nothing unless include_replies is true.
Read danmaku from every part of a multi-part video (a course or series uploaded as one video), up to max_parts parts, instead of part 1 only. Each row's part and parts_total say which part it came from out of how many (part 3 of 200). Default false. Used when mode is danmaku.
Most parts of one multi-part video to read danmaku from, counting from part 1, at least 1. Default 10. Every part adds its own requests and rows, so raise it with care on long courses. It does nothing unless danmaku_all_parts is true.
Which stream to download: best for the highest the video offers, 720p or 480p to cap it at that resolution. Default best. A video that offers nothing at the resolution you ask for returns the best one below it, never a larger file than you asked for. Used when mode is media.
Download the audio track on its own instead of the video file — far smaller, and enough for transcription or music. Default false. Used when mode is media.
Your own Bilibili cookies, as {"cookies": "SESSDATA=..."}, if you want the run to act as your own account — for instance to reach media resolutions Bilibili reserves for members. Leave empty and you need no account at all.
Leave empty and the run uses the residential proxy this actor ships with, included in the price of the run. To route the run through your own account instead, add one gateway URL per entry, for example http://user:pass@host:port — works with DataImpulse, Bright Data, Oxylabs, Smartproxy or any provider that issues URLs. When set, only these URLs are used.
