Bilibili Anime Catalog, Rankings & Calendar

Bilibili anime, Chinese animation, film, documentary and TV series: filterable catalog, Top 100 rankings, release calendar and season details with ratings and follower counts.

Bilibili Anime Catalog, Rankings & Calendar reads the licensed-series section of Bilibili (anime, Chinese animation "guochuang", films, documentaries and TV) and returns one clean row per series, ranking entry or episode release. You get play, follower, danmaku (comment), coin, like and share counts, the rating with its vote count, production regions, release status and paid-membership flag. No login and no cookies are needed. Use it for anime market research, licensing and streaming analysis, fan-community trackers and AI agents that need to know what is popular on Bilibili right now.

Why use this Actor?

• Anime and donghua market research: see which titles lead the Top 100 by follower growth in the last 3 or 7 days, and how a series compares with its sequels through the series follower total.
• Licensing and streaming teams: filter the whole catalog by release year, quarter, region, genre, airing status and free versus paid-member access, sorted by followers, plays, rating, latest update or danmaku count.
• Release trackers and fan sites: pull the release calendar for the next seven days with episode numbers, publish times and delay flags, and schedule the Actor to keep a calendar fresh.
• Analysts and data pipelines: one flat, typed row per record, ready for Google Sheets, n8n, Make, Zapier or MCP-connected agents.
• Single-title lookups: paste season, episode or media IDs, or full Bilibili URLs, and get the complete record with rating count, statistics, synopsis, cast and episode count.

What is different here?

Most Bilibili scrapers collect videos, comments or creator profiles. This one covers the series layer: Top 100 rankings, a filterable catalog of every licensed title, the release calendar and season details with the real rating count. Filters are applied by Bilibili itself, so every row really matches the filters you set; a combination that Bilibili does not offer for a content type is skipped with a log line instead of being silently ignored. Every row says how it was sorted (sortedBy) and which filters matched (matchedFilters).

Titles and subtitles are returned in the language Bilibili shows them in, usually Chinese.

Output fields

Every record carries recordType (ranking, catalog, calendar or season), contentType, seasonId, title, url, the count fields above, scrapedAt and found. Ranking rows add rank and rankingWindowDays; calendar rows add calendarDate, episodeId, episodeLabel, episodePublishAt, episodePublished and episodeDelayed; season rows add the synopsis, cast, staff, genres, series, publish time and episode count. Fields a source does not provide for a record are null, never zero. When a query has no results you get one row with found: false.

Is it legal to scrape this data?

The Actor reads public series information that Bilibili shows to every visitor, without logging in or bypassing access controls. It does not download or stream video. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and the terms of the source. Found an issue? Open it in the Issues tab and it will be answered.

Support

Found a bug or a missing field? Open an issue on the Actor page and describe the input you used. Issues are answered in English, usually within a day.

Output fields

Every result is one flat record, so it drops straight into a spreadsheet, a database or a CRM.
