FAQ

Do I need a proxy or a Bilibili account? No. The Actor uses Bilibili's public web data without login. If Bilibili rate-limits a request, it switches to Apify Proxy automatically, at no extra cost to you.

How many comments can I get? Without login Bilibili shows the top 3 comments of each video; the Actor returns them with all their replies. Deeper comment pages need a logged-in session, which this Actor does not use.

Which personal data is included? Only what Bilibili shows publicly next to content: creator channel facts and, on comments, the commenter's public name, id and level. Sex, birthday and location are left out.

Why is the category empty on some videos? Bilibili often sends only the category id in video details; categoryId is always filled when available.

How many results can I get per search? Bilibili shows up to about 1,000 results per query. Use several related terms, or sort by newest, to go further.
