Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? 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 Scraper Find creators on [bilibili (B站)](https://www.bilibili.com/), China's largest long-form video platform, by keyword or UID. Returns follower counts, level, official verification, live stream status, recent video engagement (views, coins, danmaku, favorites), and direct links to each creator's space — without a login, a token, or a residential proxy. --- ### Bilibili Creator Scraper Features - Searches bilibili by keyword and pages through up to 1,000 matching creators per query - Looks up creators directly by UID when you already know the IDs you want - Returns 21 fields per creator, including follower count, level, gender, and official verification role - Flags creators currently live streaming and includes the live room ID - Pulls recent video samples with engagement stats — views, coins, danmaku, favorites, duration, posted date - Optional per-video enrichment fetches full like and partition data via the per-video endpoint - Pure JSON API — no browser, no Cloudflare bypass, no proxies - No bilibili account or token required --- ### Who Uses Bilibili Creator Data? - **Influencer marketing agencies** — discover Chinese creators by partition, follower threshold, or recent engagement - **Brand monitoring teams** — track which bilibili creators are running branded content for competitors - **Live commerce operators** — surface creators currently live streaming to spot real-time partnership opportunities - **AI / MMM data scientists** — feed bilibili-specific engagement signals (coins, danmaku, favorites) into media-mix models - **Competitive intelligence analysts** — benchmark creator audience size and engagement across niches - **Localization & expansion teams** — build a shortlist of Chinese-language creators in a vertical before entering the market --- ### How Bilibili Creator Scraper Works 1. Pick an input mode. Provide a list of search keywords, a list of explicit creator UIDs, or both. 2. The scraper searches bilibili (or fetches creator profiles directly by UID) and pulls the structured profile for each match. 3. Each creator is enriched with a follower / following count and live stream status from bilibili's relation and live endpoints. 4. Optionally enable per-video enrichment to attach full like, coin, and favorite counts to each creator's recent video samples. --- ### Input ```json { "searchTerms": ["anime"], "searchOrder": "fans", "maxItems": 15 } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchTerms` | `string[]` | `[]` | Keywords to search bilibili creators by.

Bilibili Creator Scraper takes a list of search keywords or UIDs and returns one structured record per creator. You don't need a bilibili account, a cookie jar, or a Chinese IP — the public search and card endpoints work from any datacenter. #### How much does Bilibili Creator Scraper cost to run? Bilibili Creator Scraper uses Apify pay-per-event pricing — $0.10 per run start and $0.001 per creator returned. A run that pulls 1,000 creators costs $1.10. Enabling per-video enrichment doesn't change the price; the extra API calls are absorbed. #### Does Bilibili Creator Scraper need proxies? Bilibili Creator Scraper doesn't need proxies. The endpoints it uses are reachable from US datacenter IPs, and the scraper auto-bootstraps the buvid cookies bilibili expects from a fresh visitor. No residential proxy spend. #### Can I get a creator's full video list? Bilibili Creator Scraper returns up to three recent video samples per creator with engagement stats. Bilibili's per-creator video listing endpoint is gated behind a browser-only fingerprint check, so a full back-catalog isn't available without a real browser. If you need full video catalogs at scale, file an issue and we'll talk options. #### Can I find creators currently live streaming? Bilibili Creator Scraper flags every record with `is_live_streaming` and the `live_room_id`. Filter the output for `is_live_streaming: true` to surface creators broadcasting right now — useful for live commerce monitoring and real-time partnership outreach. #### How fresh is the data? Bilibili Creator Scraper pulls follower counts, live status, and video stats live on every run. There's no caching; what you get is what bilibili was serving when the run executed. *** ### Need More Features? Need custom fields, full video catalogs, or a different bilibili surface? [File an issue](https://console.apify.com/actors/issues) or get in touch. ### Why Use Bilibili Creator Scraper? - **Affordable** — $0.10 per run start, $0.001 per creator. A 1,000-creator pull is $1.10. - **Marketer-first output** — every other bilibili scraper on the store targets video downloaders. This one returns the fields a brand or agency actually uses: followers, live status, engagement signals, official verification. - **No browser, no proxy, no token** — pure JSON API scraping that runs on the smallest Apify memory tier and costs nothing in proxy bandwidth. # 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. ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Keywords to search bilibili for matching creators (e.g. 'cooking', 'anime').
