🇨🇳 Bilibili Video Search by Keyword · B站视频搜索 (No Login)

Turn any keyword into a ranked dataset of Bilibili (B站) videos — BV-id, title, uploader, play count, likes, danmaku (弹幕) count, duration, publish date and thumbnail — with no login, no official API key, and no cookie. Unlike URL-by-URL Bilibili scrapers, this actor is built around keyword search: feed it 人工智能 or "machine learning" and get the newest-and-hottest matches back as clean JSON or CSV. It serves two jobs especially well — assembling Chinese-language video/text training corpora for AI teams, and tracking what's trending with China's Gen-Z audience.

Pricing: $1 ≈ 20 videos (Pay-Per-Event, $0.05 per video). Optional add-ons: sentiment +$0.02/video, social-handle extraction +$0.10/video (both off by default).

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
video (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	One Bilibili video record returned.
Sentiment scored (opt-in addon) (addon-sentiment-scored)	$0.02	VADER sentiment scored over title + description. Opt-in via addonSentimentScored toggle.
Social handles extracted (opt-in addon) (addon-social-handles-extracted)	$0.1	Creator's bilibili space page scraped + regex for FB/X/LI/IG/YT/TikTok/GitHub. Opt-in via addonSocialHandlesExtracted toggle.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

🤖 For AI agents & automation

An agent can research Chinese social and consumer trends on Bilibili — search a keyword and rank videos by engagement (plays, likes, danmaku) to gauge topic momentum. Note: a search that returns no results emits a single status record (billing-fair); keyword search may require a login cookie for some queries.

Sample agent prompt:

Search Bilibili for '智能手表' and return the top videos by play count with author and likes.

Output fields (one item per result):

• bvid — Bilibili video id
• url — video URL
• title — video title
• description — video description
• author — uploader name
• play_count — view count
• danmaku_count — on-screen comment count
• favorites — favorite count
• likes — like count
• tag — video tags
• pub_date — publish date

Agentic payment (x402): this Actor uses Pay-Per-Event pricing, so AI agents can run it via Apify's experimental x402 agentic-payment support — pay per call in USDC on Base, no Apify account or API key required ($1 minimum).

🧩 Optional add-ons (opt-in — you pay only if you switch them on)

Base price is $0.05/video. Flip either flag in the input to enrich every result:

• addonSentimentScored — adds a sentiment label + score (title + description) to each video, so you can rank results by audience mood with no post-processing. +$0.02/video ($20 / 1,000).
• addonSocialHandlesExtracted — pulls creator/brand handles out of each description for outreach and lead lists. +$0.10/video ($100 / 1,000).

Both default to off; leave them off and you pay only the base per-video price.

Use cases

1. Build a Chinese-language video metadata corpus (titles + danmaku signals) for LLM / NLP training.
2. Trend tracking — surging topics and creators on B站 for a keyword.
3. Brand & campaign monitoring with China's Gen-Z audience.
4. Equity / consumer research on Chinese media, gaming, anime, EV and streaming.
5. KOL / creator discovery by topic, ranked by play count and danmaku.

Sample input

{ "keyword": "人工智能", "max_results": 100 }

keyword is required; max_results caps the number of videos returned.

Sample output

Each record returns bvid, title, author, play, like, danmaku, duration, pubdate, pic:

{ "bvid": "BV1xx411c7mD", "title": "10分钟看懂大语言模型", "author": "AI科技频道", "play": 482000, "like": 31200, "danmaku": 4870, "duration": "10:42", "pubdate": "2026-06-18" }

Run it on a schedule

For trend and brand tracking on Bilibili, a daily run per keyword is a good default, and weekly is enough for slower topics or corpus building. Between runs, new videos appear in the results and existing videos show updated play, like, favorite and danmaku counts, so each run is both new rows and fresh numbers. The actor has no new-only mode, so use bvid as the key to spot new videos and to track how engagement on known videos grows over time. Send each run's results onward with a webhook, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or the Apify API.

FAQ

Why use this instead of Bilibili's own website or app?

Bilibili's site lets you search and watch, but it does not give you search results as data. This actor turns a keyword, in Chinese or English, into a list of videos as clean JSON or CSV, with BV-id, title, description, uploader, play count, likes, favorites, danmaku count, tags, duration, publish date and thumbnail. It needs no login, no API key and no cookie, it runs from outside China without a VPN on your side, and you pay per video.

What does a typical run cost?

You pay per result, not for run time: $0.05 for each row in the results, plus $0.005 per run start (charged per GB of run memory, minimum one). A run that returns 30 videos costs about $1.50. Optional extras are charged only when you turn them on: sentiment add-on per video $0.02; creator social-handles add-on $0.10. Live prices are always shown in the Pricing tab.

How do I search Bilibili videos by keyword and export the results?

Enter a keyword such as 人工智能 or machine learning and set max_results (default 30). Each video comes back as one row you can download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull through the Apify API. Keyword search is the core function, so you do not need video URLs first.

Does it return the danmaku comments themselves?

No. It returns the danmaku count for each video, which is a useful engagement signal, but not the comment text. For the comments under a video, use the Bilibili Comments Scraper.

Why did my search return no videos?

Bilibili can limit keyword search for visitors who are not logged in, and some queries may need a login cookie to return results. When a search finds nothing, the actor writes a single status record and does not charge for it.

Can I use it to build a Chinese-language dataset for AI?

Yes. Titles, descriptions and tags across many videos per keyword give you structured Chinese-language metadata for a notebook, vector database or training pipeline. It returns metadata, not the video files or transcripts.
