Bilibili account videos (backup) API
The backup of bilibili.users.videos.list, for when it cannot serve: an account's uploads, newest first, 20 a page (its data path pages by 20), at a little more. Title, cover, views, danmaku, length and time published; no description, likes or comment count. A user that does not exist reads like one without uploads: an empty page, not a 404.

This sends a real call to https://api.okdata.online and is billed as usual: at most $0.0025. Failed calls are free. Your key goes only to that address and is never stored on this site.
Known limits
- About 20 videos come back per page; the platform sets the page size, so there is no page-size parameter.
- For the next page, pass
page.next_cursorback ascursor. A cursor stays valid for 24 hours. Whenpage.has_moreis false there is nothing left. - 1 fields of Post this endpoint cannot give
Returned fields
data.items is a list of Post.
| Field | Type | View | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | compact | Post ID on the platform. |
url | string | compact | Link to the post. |
type | string | compact | What kind of post it is. |
title | string | null | compact | Title, where the platform has one (videos, notes, articles). |
text | string | compact | Caption, body or description as plain text; articles come as Markdown.Long text: view=compact may shorten it. |
lang | string | null | standard | Language code, as reported or detected. |
Show all 12 fieldsHide the other 6
| Field | Type | View | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
published_at | string | null | compact | When it was published, ISO 8601 in UTC; null only where the source gives no time (wechat_mp.articles.metrics, wechat_channels.videos.metrics, youtube.channels.videos.list with type=short), then listed in meta.unavailable. |
author | AccountRef | compact | Who posted it. |
metrics | Metrics | compact | Counts at fetch time; a count the platform hides is null. |
images | string[] | null | standard | Image URLs for image posts and notes. |
hashtags | string[] | null | standard | Hashtags or topics, without the # sign. |
ext | object | full | Platform-specific extras. Only returned with view=full. |
The view column is the smallest view a field comes back in: compact returns only compact fields, standard adds the standard ones, full returns everything. The default is standard.
What this endpoint cannot give
These fields of Post come back as null here, and meta.unavailable names each one with its reason.
metrics.repoststhe platform does not show it

Common errors
Every error has the same shape and says whether it was charged. The ones this endpoint can return:
This is the backup route of Bilibili account videos, $0.002 a call.
| HTTP | Code | Meaning | Charged |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400 | invalid_params | A parameter is missing, has the wrong type or value, or the method is wrong. problems lists each one; param names the first.Retry: after a fix | no |
| 400 | cursor_mismatch | The cursor was sent to another endpoint, or with other parameters than the page it came from (view and fields may change).Retry: after a fix | no |
| 401 | unauthorized | The key is missing, malformed, revoked, disabled or expired (reason says which when known).Retry: no | no |
| 402 | insufficient_balance | The balance (available) cannot cover the most this call could cost (required).Retry: after a fix | no |
| 404 | not_found | The post, account or page does not exist or is not public. Endpoints whose charge_when_not_found is above 0 charge this answer (the source billed us for it): the body then says charged: true and amount.Retry: no | no |
| 410 | cursor_expired | The cursor is older than the endpoint's cursor lifetime (page.cursor_expires_at said when).Retry: no | no |
| 429 | rate_limited | The account sent too many requests this minute (reason: rate) or has too many calls running (reason: concurrency).Retry: yes | no |
| 500 | settlement_unknown | The data came back, but the charge could not be confirmed.Retry: with the same Idempotency-Key | unknown until looked up |
| 502 | upstream_failed | Every data source for this endpoint failed on this request.Retry: yes | no |
| 503 | capability_paused | This endpoint is paused right now; nothing ran.Retry: yes | no |
| 504 | timeout | The data did not come back in time. The hold was released, so nothing was charged.Retry: yes | no |
Questions
How much does the Bilibili account videos (backup) API cost?
One call costs $0.0025 and returns one page of about 20 videos. Collecting 1,000 videos takes about 50 calls, $0.125 in total. Each page is a separate call; failed calls are not charged.
How do I get the next page?
Pass page.next_cursor from the response back as the cursor parameter. When page.has_more is false there is nothing left. Every page is its own call at $0.0025.
Do I need a Bilibili account, cookies or a QR login?
No. You send only your okdata API key. The data is public data from Bilibili; nothing is fetched with your own Bilibili account.
Am I charged when a call fails?
No. Every error response says charged: false, except a timeout, which says charged: null until the outcome is known. Resend with the same Idempotency-Key and you are never charged twice.
What if Bilibili does not show a field?
The field is null, and meta.unavailable names it with the reason: platform (the platform never shows it) or capability (we cannot fetch it yet).
