Audio Download

bili audio BV1xxx                              # Download + split (25s segments, WAV 16kHz mono)

Account

bili login                                     # QR code login (interactive, terminal only)
bili status                                    # Check login status
bili whoami --yaml                             # Current user details
bili logout                                    # Clear saved credentials

Auth

• bili login generates a QR code in terminal for Bilibili app scan
• Credentials are saved locally after first login
• Browse/interact commands require login; search/video/hot/rank work without login
• Login is interactive (QR scan) — only works in SSH CLI, not in automated pipelines

Output

• Default: human-readable table/text
• --json: JSON output
• --yaml: YAML output (recommended for agent consumption)
• Always prefer --yaml when parsing results programmatically

Behavior Notes

• BV_OR_URL accepts both BV numbers (BV1xxx) and full Bilibili URLs
• UID_OR_NAME accepts numeric UID or username string (auto-searches first match)
• Pagination: most list commands support -p/--page and -n/--max
• feed uses cursor-based pagination (--offset), not page numbers
• audio requires ffmpeg installed for audio extraction and splitting
• Subtitle availability depends on the video (uploader or AI-generated)
• --ai summary is Bilibili's built-in AI summary, not always available
