Bilibili Scraper — Videos, Comments, Danmaku & English

What does Bilibili Scraper do?

Bilibili Scraper extracts public data from Bilibili (哔哩哔哩, B站), China's largest video platform for Gen Z, without login or cookies. It gives you clean, English-named JSON for:

• 🔎 Keyword search: videos or creators (UP主), sorted by relevance, views, date, danmaku or favorites
• 🎬 Video details: views, likes, coins, favorites, shares, comments, danmaku count, tags, duration, publish date and location
• 👤 Creator profiles: followers, total likes, video count, verification, plus their latest uploads
• 🔥 Trending videos (热门)
• 💬 Comments: hot comments with likes, author level and IP location
• 📺 Danmaku (弹幕): the bullet comments that scroll over each video, with timestamp in the video

🇬🇧 Built-in English translation

Don't read Chinese? Turn on Translate to English. Every title, description, tag, comment and danmaku gets an English version next to the original, at no extra cost:

{
  "title": "【A2O】A2O LITE 'NEON' Official Video",
  "tags": ["A2O", "Zalpha Pop", "李秀满新女团", "KPOP回归前线"],
  "tagsEn": ["A2O", "Zalpha Pop", "Lee Soo Man's new girl group", "KPOP returns to the front line"]
}

{ "type": "danmaku", "text": "感觉很以前纯正sm味的歌和sm花田", "textEn": "It feels like the pure SM flavor of the songs and SM flower fields." }

Who uses it?

• Brands & agencies entering China: find KOLs/UP主 in your niche and compare their reach
• Market & trend research: track what Chinese Gen Z watches and talks about
• Sentiment analysis & AI datasets: comments and danmaku are real-time audience reactions, timestamped to the second

Tips

• Search results are fast. Turn on Fetch full details only if you need coins, shares and tags for search results.
• Comments: Bilibili shows guests only the top ~3 comments per video. To get full threads, paste your own SESSDATA cookie in Advanced. It is stored as a secret and only used for this run.
• Large runs (10k+ videos): enable Apify Proxy (residential) to avoid rate limits. The scraper rotates IPs automatically when Bilibili blocks one.
• Use Max total items to cap your spend.

Is it legal to scrape Bilibili?

This Actor only collects publicly available data that anyone can see without logging in. Personal data is protected by laws such as GDPR and China's PIPL. Do not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason. If unsure, consult a lawyer.
