What Data Can You Extract from Bilibili?

Every video row includes:

• Identity: BV id, AV id (aid), CID, title, description, post text, canonical URL, short link, thumbnail.
• Engagement: view count, danmaku (bullet comment) count, likes, coins, favorites, shares, replies.
• Creator: name, UID, avatar, and (in video-detail mode) follower count, total likes, and video/article counts.
• Media: duration (seconds and formatted), resolution (width/height), part count, subtitles flag.
• Classification: category and subcategory (plus their IDs), tags, copyright/original flag, paid and collab flags, uploader location.
• Timing: publish and upload timestamps (ISO and epoch). In popular mode, the trending reason.

Comment rows add the comment text, custom emotes, pinned flag, like/reply/total-reply counts, posted-time description, commenter location and VIP/verification, whether the creator liked or replied, author name/UID/level, and one level of nested replies. Creator rows add the bio, level, rank, coins, VIP tier and expiry, verification title and role, profile banner, live-room (id/url/status/title), charging status, school/profession, total video count, and profile URL.

In video_detail mode you can also attach each video's hot comments (on by default), related videos (includeRelated), and a creator profile (creatorProfileDetail: counts only, a flat subset, or a full nested object).

FAQ

What is Bilibili (哔哩哔哩 / B站 / Bili Bili)? Bilibili, written 哔哩哔哩 and nicknamed B站 ("B-site"), is one of China's largest long-form video communities, known for its danmaku (弹幕) scrolling bullet comments. Creators ("UP主") post everything from gaming and anime to study-with-me and food vlogs. This actor extracts video, comment, and creator data across search, detail, and trending views.

How many results can I extract? Set maxResults to any number, or 0 for everything available. Search returns up to its budget per keyword, user_videos returns a creator's full catalogue, and popular returns the trending list. The free tier is limited to 20 results per run.

How fresh is the data? Live. Every run fetches current data from Bilibili at request time, including up-to-the-minute view, like, coin, and danmaku counts.

Do I need a Bilibili account or cookies? No. Provide keywords, video ids, or creator UIDs and run. No account, cookie export, or QR login is involved.

How do I export the data? JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML from the run's Storage tab, or via the Apify API. JSON preserves nested fields best (comment replies, tag arrays).

What is a BV id, and where do I find it? The BV id is the unique code in a video's URL, for example BV1DYjA6KEJ7 in bilibili.com/video/BV1DYjA6KEJ7. Paste either the full URL or just the BV id into videoUrls.

What is danmaku? Danmaku (弹幕) are the user comments that scroll across the video as it plays. This actor returns the danmaku count per video as an engagement signal; it does not export the individual danmaku messages.

Can I also get a creator's followers or fan count? The creator row returns the profile bio, level, total video count, and profile URL. For other Chinese platforms' creator metrics, see the RedNote User Profile Scraper or Douyin Profile Scraper.

Why do some numeric fields show null? Search results expose fewer fields than a full video page. Fields a given view cannot provide (such as coins or shares in search mode) are returned as null rather than dropped, so the column set stays stable. Use video_detail mode for the complete engagement set.

What's the free tier? 10 runs total per account, up to 20 results each. No credit card required.

Is it legal to scrape Bilibili data? This actor extracts only publicly available data, nothing behind a login. You are responsible for complying with Bilibili's terms of service and applicable data-protection law (GDPR, CCPA, and China's PIPL). Comment authors and creator names are personal data; handle them accordingly.
