Bilibili Video Scraper

What does Bilibili Video Scraper do?

Bilibili Video Scraper lets you download Bilibili (哔哩哔哩) videos and export their full details in one step. Paste any Bilibili video or share link and get back a clean, structured record for each video — including a direct MP4 download link, plus the title, description, author, and complete engagement stats: views, likes, coins, favorites, shares, danmaku (bullet comments), and replies. You can also have the video files saved for you automatically.

It works with videos from bilibili.com, China's largest video-sharing platform. Run it on demand, on a schedule, or via API, and connect the results to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, and hundreds of other apps.

Why use Bilibili Video Scraper?

• Download videos as MP4 — get clean files ready to save, archive, or analyze.
• Bulk export — process dozens or thousands of Bilibili videos in a single run.
• Content & trend research — collect titles, descriptions, and Bilibili's unique engagement signals (views, likes, coins, favorites, danmaku) for analysis.
• Save time — no manual copying; export everything to JSON, CSV, or Excel with a click.
• Automate it — schedule runs and push results straight into your favorite tools.

    "aid": 2,

}

downloadUrl is only present when Download video files is enabled. It links to the MP4 saved in the run's key-value store. It works directly from the Apify API/CLI or the Console; to open it in a plain browser, append ?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>. If you just want a link that always opens without a token, use videoUrl.

How much does it cost to scrape Bilibili?

Runs are fast and inexpensive — you can typically export thousands of videos for just a few cents. The main thing that affects cost is whether you turn on Download video files, since saving the actual MP4s uses more storage. If you only need the details and download links, leave it off to keep runs as cheap as possible. New Apify accounts also come with free monthly usage credits to get started.

Tips

• Just want the links? Leave Download video files off — every result still includes a videoUrl you can open or download anytime.
• Pick your resolution with Preferred video quality, or check availableQualities to see everything Bilibili reports for a video.
• Scraping in bulk? Add all your URLs at once and let a single run handle them.
