Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Bilibili Creator Leaderboard Scraper Scrape Bilibili trending video leaderboards across 32 content categories. Get rank position, full video stats (views, likes, coins, danmaku/bullet comments), creator details, and a crawl timestamp — ready for time-series trend analysis. ### What does Bilibili Creator Leaderboard Scraper do? This actor hits the Bilibili public ranking API (`api.bilibili.com/x/web-interface/ranking/v2`) for each requested category and extracts the top 100 videos. Each record includes: - **Rank position** within the category (1–100) - **Video metadata**: BV ID, title, description, duration, publish timestamp, cover image, first-frame thumbnail, short link - **Engagement stats**: view count, like count, coin count, favorite count, danmaku (bullet comment) count, reply count, share count - **Creator info**: user ID (mid), display name, avatar URL - **Location signal**: IP-province annotation - **Snapshot timestamp**: ISO 8601 crawl time for time-series stitching ### Use cases - **Trend monitoring**: Track which videos are rising and falling across categories daily or hourly - **MCN analytics**: Identify breakout creators before they reach peak visibility - **Brand monitoring**: Spot trending content in relevant verticals (Knowledge, Digital, Gaming, etc.) - **Market research**: Benchmark content performance metrics across Bilibili's major categories - **Training data**: Build ranked video datasets for recommendation model training ### Input | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | Yes | Maximum records to collect across all categories. Default: 10 | | `categories` | array | Yes | List of category TIDs to scrape. Default: `[0]` (All). | #### Category TID reference | TID | Category | |-----|----------| | 0 | All (全部) | | 1 | Animation (动画) | | 3 | Music (音乐) | | 4 | Gaming (游戏) | | 17 | Entertainment (娱乐) | | 36 | Knowledge (知识) | | 95 | Digital (数码) | | 119 | Lifestyle (生活) | | 129 | Fashion (时尚) | | 167 | Car (汽车) | | 174 | Sports (运动) | | 176 | Film & TV (影视) | | 181 | TV Series (剧集) | | 188 | Documentary (纪录片) | ### Output Each record in the dataset: ```json { "rank_position": 1, "category_id": 0, "category_name": "全部", "bvid": "BV1JiVb6EEi7", "aid": 116655892010800, "title": "【毕导】这是什么妖术？酒在坛子里是绿色，舀出来瞬间变红！", "description": "一个诡异的卖酒视频...", "duration_seconds": 760, "publish_timestamp": 1780027992, "creator_mid": 254463269, "creator_name": "毕导", "creator_avatar_url": "https://i2.hdslb.com/bfs/face/...", "cover_url": "http://i1.hdslb.com/bfs/archive/...", "score": 0, "view_count": 7044922, "danmaku_count": 20659, "reply_count": 7075, "favorite_count": 54402, "coin_count": 93064, "share_count": 10561, "like_count": 354797, "pub_location": "浙江", "short_link": "https://b23.tv/BV1JiVb6EEi7", "first_frame_url": "http://i1.hdslb.com/bfs/storyff/...", "tag_v2_name": "科学科普", "snapshotted_at": "2026-05-31T10:58:45.503Z" } ```` ### Technical notes - The Bilibili ranking API returns exactly 100 items per category. Each category is a separate API call. - Requests use browser-like `Referer` and `Origin` headers to avoid Bilibili's risk-control response (`code: -352`). - A 1.1-second delay between requests prevents rate limiting. - No proxy required — the public API works from datacenter IPs with the correct headers. - Rankings are time-sensitive snapshots: the `snapshotted_at` field enables time-series stitching across runs. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of video records to collect across all selected categories.
