Bangumi, audio, and articles

Beyond user-uploaded videos, bilibili carries professionally licensed seasons (bangumi), an audio library, and a long-form column. Each has its own command and its own id scheme.

Bangumi

A season is addressed several ways, and bangumi accepts all of them:

bili bangumi ss33802     # by season id
bili bangumi ep331204    # by a single episode id
bili bangumi md28229233  # by the media (detail page) id

The record carries the season's metadata and the full episode list, each episode with its title, id, and the cid you would use to fetch its danmaku. Note that the bangumi endpoints are the ones that return their payload in result rather than data; bili handles that transparently.

bili bangumi ss33802 -o json     # season plus every episode, lossless

Audio

bili audio au1

audio resolves an audio track to its metadata and statistics: title, uploader, play and coin counts, and duration.

Articles

bilibili's column (专栏) is long-form writing. article resolves a cv id or a read/cv URL to the article's metadata, and pulls the body text when asked:

bili article cv7018872
bili article cv7018872 --text     # include the article body

Articles can be commented on, so bili comments cv7018872 reads the discussion under one (see comments and danmaku).
