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

  • MCN analytics: Identify breakout creators before they reach peak visibility
  • Brand monitoring: Spot trending content in relevant verticals (Knowledge, Digital, Gaming, etc.)

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.
