Bilibili Scraper API
China's youth-culture video platform has no official open Bilibili API – what exists is reverse-engineered and shifts without notice. Our scraper API collects the public metadata layer instead: rankings, view counts, danmaku volumes, and uploader stats, with China-side access built in.
* This scraper is now a part of the Web Scraping API.

What is Bilibili scraper API?
Scope defines this page: the target is Bilibili's metadata, not its media. Video files carry copyright and stay out of collection entirely – what the public pages offer is the measurement layer:
- Ranking positions across categories and time windows
- View, like, coin, and favorite counts
- Danmaku (bullet-comment) volume signals
- Uploader follower counts and output cadence
Brands running China marketing read Bilibili rankings as youth-demographic trend data, MCN agencies track creator trajectories, and researchers study the platform's distinctive engagement culture. Community Bilibili API wrappers exist but break unannounced – public pages are the surface that stays public.

Collect Bilibili data
Trend measurement is diff work on a schedule. The Web Scraping API samples ranking and video pages through China-appropriate origins, and count fields – views, danmaku, coins – become time series that show acceleration, which is the actual trend signal. The Social Media Scraping API brings the same engagement-metrics treatment to platforms outside the Chinese ecosystem, so cross-platform creator analytics share one pipeline shape.

Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape Bilibili?
Faces and voices attract their own rules. Video and images collected from Bilibili can carry identifiers that text never would. Treat those files as the sensitive part of the record. Our personal data in video and images explains what applies.
How does the Bilibili scraper API bypass blocks and CAPTCHAs?
Detection here follows Chinese-platform conventions – origin plausibility, session behavior, and rate rhythms. China-side exits, rendered sessions, and measured pacing form the posture, with automatic retries covering challenges. Metadata cadences sit comfortably inside sustainable rates.
What output formats does the Bilibili scraper API support?
Ranking and video pages arrive as HTML, or as count-field JSON typed numerically – view velocity math wants integers, not strings. The YouTube scraper API extends the identical metadata approach to the global video ecosystem.
Can I geo-target Bilibili requests to a specific country or city?
China-side origins are the practical requirement – the platform serves complete, current data to its home market first. In-China exits anchor collection, with the rest of the 195+ geo-locations available for comparing any internationally-served surfaces.
How fast is the Bilibili scraper API and can it handle large-scale jobs?
Daily archives of every category's rankings plus hourly sampling of tracked videos is a modest scheduled workload. Concurrency follows plan tier, responses arrive in seconds through appropriate origins, and upload-spike events – festival weeks, viral moments – fit the same pipeline at denser cadence.
Can I try the Bilibili scraper API for free?
Yes – the free starter plan is card-free and carries up to 2K requests. A two-week trend-tracking pilot on a category fits comfortably inside that. Judge the metadata quality against your China-market questions directly.
