## 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, Search & Trending

Scrape **Bilibili (B站 / 哔哩哔哩)** without an account or cookies.

- **Video stats** from a link: views, likes, coins, favorites, shares, comments, danmaku, duration, category
- **Creators**: follower count, bio, and their latest uploads with views
- **Keyword search**: up to 1,000 videos per keyword, with likes, favorites and tags
- **Popular feed**: what's trending on Bilibili right now, ranked
- **Danmaku (弹幕)**: the bullet comments over a video — text, second in the video, send time, color

### Input

| Field | What to put |
|---|---|
| `targets` | Video links / BV ids, or creator links like `https://space.bilibili.com/546195` |
| `keywords` | Search words, e.g. `原神`, `tennis` |
| `popularCount` | How many videos from the popular feed (0 = skip) |
| `maxItemsPerSource` | Videos per creator / keyword (default 30) |
| `danmakuPerVideo` | Danmaku rows per video link (0 = skip) |

Inputs that can't be read are skipped and never charged.

### Filters & monitoring

- **Only videos published after** a date and **minimum views**
- **Monitor mode**: returns only videos you haven't received before — schedule it daily on a keyword, creator or the popular feed and pay only for what's new

### Output

Every row has a `type`: `video`, `creator`, `creatorVideo`, `searchResult`, `popular` or `danmaku`.

```json
{
  "type": "video",
  "bvid": "BV1cNYP6wEiB",
  "title": "你长大了，该了解闲鱼了",
  "creatorName": "阿强动画丶",
  "views": 2731545,
  "likes": 75409,
  "coins": 6094,
  "favorites": 59362,

  "comments": 4282,
  "danmaku": 616,
  "publishedAt": "2026-10-03T10:00:00Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- Watch what's trending in China every day (schedule the popular feed)
- Compare video performance: coins and favorites show real fan engagement
- Read audience reactions second by second with danmaku

### Pricing

Pay per result: $2.50 per 1,000 rows. No charge for failed inputs.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "targets": [
        "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1cNYP6wEiB",
        "https://space.bilibili.com/546195"
    ],
    "keywords": []
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("riscrape/bilibili-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "targets": [
    "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1cNYP6wEiB",
    "https://space.bilibili.com/546195"
  ],
  "keywords": []

apify call riscrape/bilibili-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,riscrape/bilibili-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
