Bilibili Scraper: Videos, Channels & Stats

Scrape Bilibili (哔哩哔哩) videos by keyword, a creator's full channel uploads, a list of video URLs or the trending board, with views, likes, coins, favorites, shares, danmaku, comment count, tags, duration and publish date. For brand monitoring, influencer (KOL / UP主) research, gaming and anime market research, and Chinese content datasets.

Why this one

• US$ 3 per 1,000 videos. Full stats and tags included, no start fee, no monthly fee.
• Full channel uploads. user_videos reads the channel's own upload list page by page (hundreds of videos, newest first), not just the ~20 a name search finds.
• Failed videos never fail your run and are free. Removed, private or invalid videos come back as an item with a stable errorCode and are not charged.
• Drop-in replacement. Same input names (mode, searchQuery, videoUrls, userIds, maxResults, sortOrder, durationFilter, pubtimeBegin, pubtimeEnd) and same output names (bvid, viewCount, coinCount, authorMid...) as the most used Bilibili scraper, so you can switch without changing your integration.
• HTTP only, no login, no browser. Fast and cheap runs.

Use cases

• Track how a game, brand or product launch performs on Bilibili: every video for a keyword with views, coins and danmaku, sorted by newest or most viewed.
• Vet creators before a campaign: pull a channel's full upload history and compare likes, coins and favorites per video.
• Build a dataset of trending Chinese videos with tags and categories for research or AI.

Input

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "原神",
  "sortOrder": "click",
  "durationFilter": "any",
  "pubtimeBegin": "2026-01-01",
  "maxResults": 100
}

mode	Needs	Returns
search	searchQuery (and optional searchQueries)	videos for each keyword, up to 1,000 per keyword (Bilibili's limit)
user_videos	userIds: 546195 or https://space.bilibili.com/546195	the channel's uploads, newest first
video_detail	videoUrls: video URLs, b23.tv links, BV... or av... ids	one item per video
popular	nothing	Bilibili's trending board

includeDetails (on by default) opens each video from search, channel and trending lists to add coins, shares and tags. maxResults is per keyword or per channel.

Other scrapers' field names also work: urls, startUrls, bvids, channelUrls, mids, keywords, maxItems.

Output

One item per video. Real item from a search run for 原神:

}

authorName and authorMid are the public channel that uploaded the video. No commenter or viewer data is collected.

Items that could not be delivered have error and errorCode filled in and are not charged:

errorCode	Meaning
VIDEO_NOT_FOUND	The video was removed or never existed
VIDEO_NOT_VISIBLE / VIDEO_UNDER_REVIEW	Private or still in review
INVALID_VIDEO_ID / INVALID_CHANNEL_ID	The input is not a video or channel
CHANNEL_NOT_FOUND / CHANNEL_UNAVAILABLE	The channel does not exist or hides its uploads
NO_RESULTS	The keyword or channel returned no videos
BLOCKED	Bilibili blocked every retry; run again

The run itself only fails when nothing was delivered and Bilibili blocked the requests.

Subtitles (optional)

includeSubtitles adds a subtitles array when Bilibili serves subtitles without login. Bilibili now hides most subtitles, including its AI subtitles, behind login, so most videos come back with subtitleStatus: "LOGIN_REQUIRED" or "NONE". It costs nothing extra.

Pricing

US$ 3.00 per 1,000 videos delivered, no monthly fee. One charge = one video with its stats, whatever the mode. Failed items are free. 30 videos cost US$ 0.09.
