## Pricing

Pay per event

## 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`).

### What is Bilibili Scraper?

Bilibili (B站) is China's biggest video community for Gen Z, anime, gaming, tech and education, with no official public data export. **Bilibili Scraper** turns any keyword, video, uploader or the popular feed into clean, analysis-ready rows: views, likes, coins, favorites, shares, danmaku count, tags, uploader profile and the comments a visitor can see, without a Bilibili account.

### What does it do?

- **Keyword search**: search Bilibili in Chinese or English, sorted by relevance, most viewed, newest, most danmaku or most favorited
- **Video URLs / BV ids**: full stats for any list of videos
- **Uploader channels**: latest videos from any uploader (mid or space URL)
- **Popular feed (热门)**: what is trending on Bilibili right now
- **Comments (on by default)**: pinned/top comments and reply previews with likes, author level and post time
- **Uploader data**: name, mid, profile URL and avatar on every video row
- **Automatic resilience**: rotates sessions and switches to Apify Proxy if Bilibili rate-limits

### Why choose us over cheaper scrapers?

- **Honest output**: limits are documented, missing data is labeled, never invented
- **Clean, consistent schema** ready for Excel, Sheets, BI tools or an LLM
- **No account risk**: no logins, no cookies
- **Pay per result** with a cost guard; no subscription
- **Maintained by IntelScrape** and fixed fast when the source changes

### Who is it for?

- **China market research**: measure interest in a product, brand or topic among young Chinese consumers
- **Influencer / KOL discovery**: find uploaders who rank for your keywords and compare their views and engagement
- **Brand monitoring**: track videos and comments mentioning your brand or competitors
- **Content strategy**: find which titles, lengths and tags get the most views in your niche
- **Academic and media research**: build datasets of Chinese online video culture
- **Ad and sponsorship due diligence**: check real engagement (likes, coins, favorites) before paying for a placement

### How to use it

#### In Apify Console (no code)

1. Click **Try for free** / **Start**. The form is prefilled with a working example.
2. Change the inputs (see examples below).
3. Click **Start**, then export the results as **JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML**, or open them in Google Sheets.
4. Optional: **Schedule** the actor to run hourly, daily or weekly.

#### Via API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/intelscrape~bilibili-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "search", "searchQueries": ["python tutorial"], "maxResults": 20, "includeComments": true, "maxCommentsPerVideo": 10}'
```

Or use the official [Apify JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/) clients:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("intelscrape/bilibili-scraper").call(run_input={"mode": "search", "searchQueries": ["python tutorial"], "maxResults": 20, "includeComments": true, "maxCommentsPerVideo": 10})
for item in client.dataset(run["default_dataset_id"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

#### With AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (`https://mcp.apify.com`) or the [IntelScrape MCP Server](https://apify.com/intelscrape/skip--trace) to Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client, then ask in plain language, e.g. *"Run intelscrape/bilibili-scraper with the default input and summarise the results."*

### Pricing (pay per event)

| Event | When it is charged | Price |
|---|---|---|
| **Actor start** | once per run | $0.002 |
| **Video** | per video row | $0.004 |
| **Comment** | per comment row | $0.001 |

#### Cost examples

| Run | Cost |
|---|---|
| Default run: 1 keyword, 20 videos, up to 10 visible comments each | up to $0.282 (≈ $0.10–$0.28 depending on how many comments Bilibili shows) |
| 500 videos, comments off | $2.002 |
| 1,000 videos + ~5 comments each | ≈ $9.00 |

Platform usage is included in these prices. Set **Max charge per run** in the run options to cap spend; the actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached and keeps everything collected so far.

### FAQ

#### Do I need a Bilibili account or cookies?

No. The actor only uses data Bilibili shows to logged-out visitors. Nothing is ever logged in, so there is no account to get banned.

#### How many comments can I get per video?

Bilibili shows logged-out visitors only the pinned/top comments plus a short reply preview, usually 3–10 per video. That is the honest ceiling. You are charged only for comments actually delivered.

#### Can I turn comments off?

Yes. Set "includeComments": false for video-only runs at $0.004 per video.

#### Can I search in English?

Yes. Bilibili search works in Chinese and English; Chinese keywords usually return more results.

#### How do I get an uploader's videos?

Use "mode": "users" with the uploader's mid (e.g. 546195) or their space.bilibili.com URL.

#### Is there a Bilibili API?

Bilibili has no official public data API for this. This actor is the API: call it over HTTP, schedule it, or plug it into n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent.

#### How fresh is the data?

Live: every run reads Bilibili at that moment. Schedule it daily to track view growth over time.

#### Does it download the videos?

No. It exports metadata, stats, cover image URLs and comments, not video files.

#### What if Bilibili rate-limits me?

The actor rotates sessions and falls back to Apify Proxy automatically. Large runs may take longer but keep going.

### Honest limits

- Public data only; the actor never logs in.
- Comments are limited to what logged-out visitors see (pinned/top plus a reply preview, typically 3–10 per video).
- Search ranking is Bilibili's own and can differ slightly between runs.
- Some fields (category name, tags) may be empty when Bilibili does not return them.

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}
```

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).
