Input	Rows
Search keyword	Up to 50 videos: heat, likes, comments, favorites, duration, rating for official episodes, series, uploader followers and location
Video link (v_….html)	One video with description, rating and vote count, series and episode count, likes, comments, uploader
Series or movie name	iQIYI International titles: type, year, release date, rating, age rating, episode count, every episode link, cast with roles and photos

Why Use This Scraper?

• Engagement numbers on every row. Likes, comments, favorites and the iQIYI heat score, plus the uploader's followers, video count, location and company.
• Real filters. iQIYI's own category, posting window (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days), picture quality and sort (relevance, newest, most popular).
• Series catalogue data in one row. Full episode lists with links and dates, and cast lists with roles, for dramas, movies, variety shows and anime.
• Lower price per video. $0.0015 a search video. Other iQIYI actors charge $0.002 to $0.007 a row, one of them with a $0.05 start fee.

Use Cases

• Drama and IP tracking: follow how clips, recaps and trailers of a show spread, and which uploaders drive them.
• Creator and MCN research: find uploaders by topic with follower counts, locations and the company behind the account.
• Content licensing and catalogue work: episode counts, release dates, age ratings and casts of titles on iQIYI International.
• Market research on Chinese video: what gets posted about a brand, game or star in the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.

How It Works

1. Searches, video links and title names run four at a time. One call takes 40 to 130 seconds.
2. Each search keyword returns up to 50 videos. Duplicates within a keyword are dropped.
3. Video links are read one page per call.
4. Title names search the iQIYI International catalogue in the language and region you pick.
5. Every row is charged as it is delivered, and the run stops cleanly at your spending limit or row cap.

FAQ

How many videos can one keyword return? At most 50. iQIYI search has no next page here, so one keyword with one set of filters stops at 50. To get more, add related keywords or run the same keyword with another sortBy or publishedWithin.

Why are search links short qy.net links? That is the link iQIYI itself shares for most videos. It opens the video in a browser. videoId is iQIYI's own id for it.

Which video links work in videoUrls? www.iqiyi.com/v_….html (and the same on m.iqiyi.com). qy.net share links, series pages (a_….html) and iq.com links are skipped with a note in the log: open a share link in a browser and paste the v_….html address it lands on.

What is the iQIYI International catalogue? iq.com, iQIYI's site outside mainland China. Title searches cover its series, movies, variety shows and anime. Mainland-only titles may be missing. In our tests the Taiwan region returned nothing; International and Thailand returned titles.

Do video lookups include the duration? Not always: the video page answer usually leaves it out. Search rows carry it.

A search took several minutes. Why? Calls usually take 40 to 130 seconds. A slow one is retried; after about 5 minutes of retries it is skipped and not charged.

Do I need an iQIYI account? No.

Can I download the videos? No. This actor returns data, not video files.
