Bilibili Scraper – Videos, Comments, Danmaku & Creators

Scrape Bilibili (哔哩哔哩) without login, cookies or an API key. Search videos by keyword, get full video stats (views, likes, coins, favorites, shares, danmaku and comment counts, tags, honors), creator profiles (followers, total likes, video count, verification), danmaku (弹幕) with the second of the video each one appears at, top comments and reply threads, and Bilibili's trending feed and category rankings.

Mix sources in one run: keywords, video links, creators and trending together. Results are deduplicated across sources. $2.50 per 1,000 videos, about 8x cheaper than the most-used Bilibili scraper, with no monthly fee.

What you can use it for

• Chinese market & brand research: what Gen-Z China watches and says about a brand, game, car or gadget.
• Influencer (KOL / UP主) discovery: shortlist creators by followers, total likes and verification, then pull their latest uploads.
• Content & trend tracking: daily snapshots of the hot feed or a category's top 100 ranking.
• Audience reaction analysis: danmaku show exactly which second of a video people react to.
• AI / NLP datasets: Chinese titles, descriptions, tags, comments and danmaku with clean text, ready for sentiment analysis or RAG.
• Monitoring: schedule it with Only new videos to get a feed of new uploads for a keyword or creator.

How to use it

1. Add keywords or creators. Type search keywords, paste video links or creator UIDs, and switch on comments or danmaku (弹幕) if you need them.

2. Click Start. Search results come first, then the comments and danmaku of each video.

3. Get clean data. Every video comes with views, likes, coins, favorites, shares and its creator. Export it as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

How to scrape Bilibili

1. Create a free Apify account (no credit card needed to start) and open this Actor.
2. Pick sources. Add Search keywords, Video URLs or IDs, Creators (UID or profile URL) or turn on Trending videos. You can mix them in one run.
3. Set the limits. Max videos per keyword and Max videos per creator decide how much each source returns. Use Search sort, Video length and the date range to narrow it.
4. Add detail (optional). Turn on Include comments, Include danmaku (弹幕) or leave Full video stats on for coins, favorites, shares and tags.
5. Click Start. Results appear in the Output tab while it runs.
6. Download or connect. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read the dataset through the API, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or a webhook.
7. Automate it. Open Schedules, add a daily schedule and switch on Only new videos to get a feed of new uploads for a keyword or creator.

Tips

• Bilibili shows logged-out visitors only the top comments of a video; for audience reactions at scale use danmaku.
• Bilibili stops search at 1,000 results per keyword. Use date ranges or more specific keywords for more.
• Creator lists are paged slowly by Bilibili, so very large creator lists can take a few minutes.

• Search: Chinese and English keywords, sort (relevance, most viewed, newest, most danmaku, most favorited), video length, published date range. Bilibili returns at most 1,000 videos per keyword; split by date range to go further.
• Videos: links, BV IDs, av IDs and b23.tv short links.
• Creators: UID or profile link. Profile plus their uploads (newest, most viewed or most favorited).
• Trending: hot feed (up to 500) or the top-100 ranking for 18 categories.
• Full video stats is on by default. It adds coins, shares, tags, honors and the uploader's follower count at no extra cost.

Pricing

Pay only for results. No monthly rental, no start fee to speak of.

Result	Price	Per 1,000
Video (full stats)	$0.0025	$2.50
Creator profile	$0.002	$2.00
Comment or reply	$0.0005	$0.50
Danmaku	$0.0001	$0.10

Example: 1,000 videos with full stats = $2.50, plus 1,000 top comments = $0.50. The most-used Bilibili scraper charges $0.02 per row: $20 + $20 for the same data.

Videos that can't be read (deleted, private, blocked) are skipped and not charged.

Use with AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, MCP)

Add the Actor as a tool through the Apify MCP server: https://mcp.apify.com?actors=smoldesk/bilibili-scraper. Then paste this into your agent's system prompt or tool notes, so it knows when to call it:

Tool: smoldesk/bilibili-scraper (Bilibili Scraper, Apify)
Use it when: the user wants Bilibili (哔哩哔哩) videos for a keyword, video stats (views, likes, coins, favorites), comments, danmaku (bullet comments), a creator's videos and follower count, or Bilibili's trending charts. No login needed.
Don't use it when: the user wants Weibo posts (use smoldesk/weibo-scraper), Chinese news articles (use smoldesk/toutiao-scraper), WeChat articles (use smoldesk/wechat-articles-scraper), YouTube videos (use smoldesk/youtube-scraper), video files, or anything that needs a Bilibili login.
How to call: run the Actor with JSON input and read the dataset items. Results cost money per item, so keep the counts small unless the user asks for more.
Example input: {"searchQueries": ["原神"], "maxVideosPerSearch": 20, "searchSort": "views", "includeComments": true, "maxCommentsPerVideo": 20}

Questions an agent can answer with it:

• What are the most-viewed Bilibili videos about our game this month, and what do commenters say?
• Which tech creators on Bilibili have the most followers, and how often do they post?
• What's in Bilibili's top ranking for the knowledge category today?

Your agent can pay for its own runs. This Actor is approved for agentic payments on Apify, so an agent with a Skyfire token or an x402 wallet can call it and pay per result without an Apify account. Skyfire: use https://mcp.apify.com?payment=skyfire. x402: buy a prepaid Apify token with USDC. Setup: Apify agentic payments docs.

Use with AI (LangChain / LlamaIndex / CrewAI)

Each video has a markdown field (title, creator, date, views, likes, tags, description) ready for LLMs. With LangChain (pip install langchain-apify):

from langchain_apify import ApifyWrapper
from langchain_core.documents import Document

apify = ApifyWrapper()  # reads APIFY_API_TOKEN
loader = apify.call_actor(
    actor_id="smoldesk/bilibili-scraper",
    run_input={"searchQueries": ["新能源汽车"], "maxVideosPerSearch": 50},
    dataset_mapping_function=lambda v: Document(
        page_content=v.get("markdown") or v.get("text") or "",
        metadata={k: v.get(k) for k in ("type", "url", "videoUrl", "views", "likes", "publishedAt")},
    ),
)
docs = loader.load()

Already have a run? Use ApifyDatasetLoader(dataset_id="<run's dataset ID>", dataset_mapping_function=...). LlamaIndex: ApifyActor from llama-index-readers-apify. CrewAI: use the Apify MCP server above.

Limitations

• Comments: Bilibili shows visitors who aren't logged in only the top 3 comments of each video (plus the uploader's pinned comment). Their reply threads can be scraped in full. This Actor never logs in, so for audience reactions at scale use danmaku, which are fully available.
• Bilibili caps keyword search at 1,000 results per query. Use date ranges or more specific keywords for more.
• Danmaku: Bilibili serves the most recent ~1,000–3,000 danmaku of a video.
• Subtitles and play URLs need a login and are not included.
• Bilibili rate-limits bursts. The Actor retries with fresh sessions and switches to datacenter proxies on its own, so large creator lists can take a few minutes.

FAQ

Does Bilibili have a public API? Not an official one for developers. This Actor reads the same public endpoints the Bilibili website loads for any visitor, and returns clean, English-named JSON.

Do I need a Bilibili account, cookies or a Chinese phone number? No. Nothing to log in to, nothing to configure.

Do I need a proxy or VPN? No. It works from Apify's servers as is.

What are coins (投币)? Bilibili viewers tip videos with coins. Together with likes and favorites (三连) they are the strongest engagement signal on the platform.

What is danmaku (弹幕)? Comments that scroll across the video at a specific second. They show which moments viewers react to.

How do I get only new uploads? Turn on Only new videos and schedule the Actor. Each run returns videos that earlier runs with the same keyword, creator or trending settings haven't seen.

Is it legal? It collects only data Bilibili shows publicly to every visitor, with no login. Follow copyright and privacy laws (e.g. PIPL, GDPR) when you reuse it.

Feedback
