• Complete creator upload lists. You get every public video of a channel.
• Full statistics on list results. Turn on "Add full video details" and each search or creator result also has coins, shares, likes, favorites, comment counts and tags.
• Pay per result. You pay only for the items you receive. There is no monthly rental.

Limits you should know

• Search: Bilibili returns at most 1,000 videos per keyword. Use more specific keywords or different sort orders to get more.
• List results without details: Search results have no coin and share counts. Creator-video results have only title, cover, duration, publish date and views. Turn on "Add full video details" to get all statistics.
• Comments: Bilibili shows only the top comments (about 3 per video) to visitors who are not logged in. To get more, put the SESSDATA cookie of your own Bilibili account in the "cookie" input. The cookie is stored as a secret and is sent only to Bilibili.
• Danmaku: Bilibili keeps a limited pool for each video. The Actor returns the current pool of the first part of the video.
• Sub-replies of comments are not scraped.

Pricing

Pay per result. Each video, creator profile or comment in the dataset is one result. Danmaku lines have their own, much lower price because one video can have thousands of them. You do not pay for failed queries.

FAQ

Do I need a Bilibili account or cookies? No. Only the full comment list needs a cookie.

Can I call it from an API, n8n, Make or an AI agent? Yes. Use the Apify API, the integrations tab, or the Apify MCP server.

Is it legal to scrape Bilibili? The Actor collects only data that is publicly visible without login. Results can contain personal data such as user names. Make sure that your use follows the law that applies to you.
