What does Bilibili Creator Leaderboard Scraper do?

This actor hits the Bilibili public ranking API (api.bilibili.com/x/web-interface/ranking/v2) for each requested category and extracts the top 100 videos. Each record includes:

• Rank position within the category (1–100)
• Video metadata: BV ID, title, description, duration, publish timestamp, cover image, first-frame thumbnail, short link
• Engagement stats: view count, like count, coin count, favorite count, danmaku (bullet comment) count, reply count, share count
• Creator info: user ID (mid), display name, avatar URL
• Location signal: IP-province annotation
• Snapshot timestamp: ISO 8601 crawl time for time-series stitching

Use cases

• Trend monitoring: Track which videos are rising and falling across categories daily or hourly
• MCN analytics: Identify breakout creators before they reach peak visibility
• Brand monitoring: Spot trending content in relevant verticals (Knowledge, Digital, Gaming, etc.)
• Market research: Benchmark content performance metrics across Bilibili's major categories

Technical notes

• The Bilibili ranking API returns exactly 100 items per category. Each category is a separate API call.
• Requests use browser-like Referer and Origin headers to avoid Bilibili's risk-control response (code: -352).
• A 1.1-second delay between requests prevents rate limiting.
• No proxy required — the public API works from datacenter IPs with the correct headers.
• Rankings are time-sensitive snapshots: the snapshotted_at field enables time-series stitching across runs.
