Guides

Task-oriented walkthroughs for the things people actually do with bilibili data.

Each guide is built around a job rather than a command: working with videos, pulling comments and bullet-chat, browsing creators and their feeds, reading bangumi and audio and columns, watching live rooms, finding things across the site, discovering the graph of related videos and creators, and crawling it into a dataset. They assume you have run the quick start.

Videos Resolve videos to full metadata, find related videos, list playable streams, and read bullet-chat. Comments and danmaku Pull the full comment tree on any object, and decode bullet-chat into rows. Users and feeds Browse a creator's profile and catalogue, their favorite folders, and their dynamics feed. Bangumi, audio, and articles Read anime and film seasons, audio tracks, and column articles. Live rooms Look up a live room, and browse rooms by area. Finding things Search across the site, autosuggest, hot-search terms, the popular feeds, and the leaderboard. Crawling Walk the graph from seed ids into per-type JSONL files. Discovering Walk the graph of related videos and creators, breadth first, streaming one record per node.
