Bilibili API
Read videos, danmaku, comments and replies, creator profiles, search and popular videos from Bilibili over REST: 8 live endpoints, one API key and one JSON envelope. Below are all of them and a real request and response.
A new account gets 50 trial calls; after that, successful calls are billed from a prepaid balance. See pricing.
8 Bilibili API endpoints
Parameters, response fields and code samples for each are in the API reference.

}Use Bilibili data from an AI tool
Qovia is also an MCP server. Run this in Claude Code. Finding and reading endpoints needs no key; to call them, set up your API key as in the MCP docs. Cursor and VS Code setups are there too.

How do I call the Bilibili API?
Send a GET request to https://api.qovia.ai, for example /v1/raw/bilibili/…, with your API key in an Authorization: Bearer header. A success is HTTP 200 with request_id, data and meta. This page lists all 8 endpoints, and each one's parameters are in the API reference.
What Bilibili data can I get?
Video detail (title, description, uploader, category, tags, and play, like, coin, save, comment, share and danmaku counts), keyword video search, top-level comments and nested replies, danmaku, creator profiles and their uploads, and Bilibili's popular videos.
Which ID identifies a Bilibili video?
The video endpoints take the BV id (bvid), not the older av number; creator endpoints take the mid. Search, creator uploads and popular videos return records with the same ids as video detail.
How much danmaku can I get?
The danmaku endpoint returns the current and historical danmaku of the video's first part, de-duplicated and cut at limit; has_more true means it was cut, so raise limit. complete=false means some segments could not be fetched.
Do I need a Bilibili account or cookies?
No. All you need is a Qovia API key: no accounts, cookies, proxies or request signing to maintain.
How is it billed?
Prepaid and per call: only successful calls that return data are charged, and empty results, errors and timeouts are not. Every response says what it cost (meta.charged_usd). Each endpoint's price is in the API reference.
Can I use it from Claude, Cursor or other AI tools?
Yes. Qovia is also an MCP server (https://api.qovia.ai/mcp): add it to Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with your API key and the AI finds the endpoint, pulls the data and summarises it.
What should I keep in mind when using the data?
Qovia provides a data API service and claims no ownership of the underlying content. Use the data under applicable law and Bilibili's platform rules; see our terms of service.
Your agent only knows what you give it
Give it Douyin, Xiaohongshu (RedNote), WeChat and product reviews: structured, per call, nothing charged for failures.
