## Pricing

from $3.00 / 1,000 videos

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Bilibili Scraper - Videos, Creators, Danmaku $4/1K

Get **Bilibili (哔哩哔哩, B站)** data without a login: search videos by keyword, read any video link, take the **popular now** board, look up **creators (UP主)** by UID, link or keyword, and download **danmaku (弹幕)** bullet comments. **$4 per 1,000 videos or creators**, $0.20 per 1,000 danmaku.

- **Video search** with Bilibili's own sort (relevance, most views, newest, most danmaku, most favorites) and length filter, up to 1,000 videos per keyword.
- **Every counter:** views, likes, **coins**, favorites, **shares**, comments, danmaku count, plus duration, publish date, category, tags, original or repost, number of parts.
- **Creator data on each video:** followers, uploads, total likes, verified title (e.g. "bilibili 知名科技UP主").
- **Creators (UP主):** followers, following, uploads, articles, likes, level, bio (often with business contact), verified title, avatar. Find them by keyword for influencer lists.
- **Top comments:** the hottest comments of each video with likes, replies, date and author.
- **Danmaku:** each bullet comment with its time in the video, posting date, position and colour.
- No cookie, no account, no Chinese phone number. Titles and text stay in Chinese, exactly as on Bilibili.

### Free tier — 10 results free on every run

**The first 10 results of every run are free**, on every run you ever make — not a one-off trial. One guard: the free allowance never covers more than half of a run, so the offer stays sustainable.

### Price

| Row | Price |
|---|---|
| Video (with full details and top comments) | **$4 per 1,000** ($0.004 each) |
| Creator | **$4 per 1,000** ($0.004 each) |
| Danmaku (bullet comment) | **$0.20 per 1,000** ($0.0002 each) |

The first 10 videos or creators of each run are free. Set **Max cost per run** and the run stops before it spends more.

The most-used Bilibili Actor in Apify Store (zhorex/bilibili-scraper) sells every row at **$20 per 1,000** (read on 2026-10-18): this Actor is 5 times cheaper.

### Measured, not promised

Run on Apify on 2026-10-18: keywords 数码测评 and 原神 sorted by views (100 each), the popular board (40), full details, top comments, 20 danmaku per video, plus 20 creators for 美食: **240 videos, 20 creators and 2,500 danmaku in 174 seconds**, every row delivered.

| Field | Videos with it |
|---|---|
| Views, likes, coins, favorites, shares, comments, danmaku count, tags | 240 of 240 |
| Creator followers, uploads and likes | 240 of 240 |
| Top comments | 240 of 240 |

Bilibili shows only **3 comments per video** to visitors who are not logged in; this Actor never logs in, so that is what it delivers. Videos whose page Bilibili refuses are delivered with their search counters and a `detailsError` note.

- **Brand monitoring:** schedule a keyword with sort "newest" and get every new video about your brand.
- **AI and NLP:** danmaku and comments as a Chinese-language sentiment corpus, time-coded to the video.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Bilibili account, cookie or VPN?** No.

**Why only 3 comments per video?** Bilibili shows 3 comments to visitors who are not logged in. This Actor does not log in.

**Can I get a creator's full upload list?** Not at the moment: Bilibili protects that page for visitors. Search the creator's name as a keyword, or pass the video links.

**Can I call it from code?** Yes: Apify API, Python and JavaScript clients, Make, Zapier, n8n, or as an MCP tool.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
