Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Bilibili endpoint catalog — 8 endpoints, 12 documented request parameters, and 8 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
8 documented Bilibili endpoints, grouped into 8 request families — Anime Home, Autocomplete and Guochuang Home, plus 5 more.
12 request parameters are documented across those Bilibili endpoints, 10 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
8 of the 8 Bilibili endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 8 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Bilibili endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429, 500 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
8 hosted MCP tools back the Bilibili endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

Response notes
Each video includes its BVID, AID, title, canonical URL, cover, display duration, uploader, localized views/age text, optional recommendation reason, and upstream cursor. At the end of the feed, `no_more` is `true` and `videos` is empty. A nonempty but unrecognized upstream card payload returns an upstream error.
MCP tool bilibili_popular
/bilibili/rankingReturns the current official all-site ranking with video engagement, category, and creator metadata in rank order.
Response notes
Each ranked video includes its AID, canonical web URL, title, cover, engagement counts, duration, publication timestamp, category, and creator metadata. A successful response must contain recognizable ranked video cards; a changed or empty upstream payload returns an upstream error.

Call Crawlora's Bilibili homepage, ranking, or curated-collection endpoints and get video titles, engagement metadata, and creator info back as structured JSON — no account, login, or streaming-URL extraction involved.
Yes — /bilibili/popular and /bilibili/ranking both return current engagement and rank-order metadata; re-running them on a schedule lets you track which videos rise or fall in the feed.
