iQIYI Catalogue Scraper: the Asian Drama Streaming Catalogue, Country by Country

Every iQIYI title page names the countries it may play in. A Chinese costume drama is cleared almost everywhere; a licensed Korean series, in nine Southeast Asian markets.

An iQIYI API of our own: scope, delivery and limits

You choose the channels, the origins, the depth - titles only, or every episode with its subtitle and dub tracks - and the markets whose prices you need. We build the iQIYI scraper, run it daily or weekly and deliver CSV, JSON, XLSX or an iQIYI API endpoint, with field names agreed before the first run.

Keeping the collector alive is our job: anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving are part of the service, and when iq.com changes its front end we fix the parser. An iQIYI scraping project stays on pages a signed-out visitor can open; we never sign in and never touch the player or its streams. Viewer comments and profiles stay out - we collect the catalogue only.

iQIYI data on every title: episodes, languages, VIP flags and rights

No login stands in front of an iq.com title page, and most of the record - series and episodes - ships in the page itself. For each title we extract from iQIYI:

  • Identifiers - a numeric album id and the short alphanumeric code that ends every address, as in /album/pursuit-of-jade-2026-19vub7xxrwd; each episode has its own code under /play/.
  • Classification - channel, region of origin, original language, genre, subject and era tags such as Ancient or the Republican Era, each with a numeric tag id that doubles as the Browse filter value.
  • Episodes - "Updated to 24/Total 30 Episodes" arrives as two numbers; per episode come the number, English title, publish date, upload date and runtime, with previews, trailers and clips kept apart from full episodes.
  • Access - a VIP or free flag on the title and on each episode, plus the badges iQIYI Only for exclusives, Original for in-house productions and Limited free.
  • Audience signals - age rating (13+, 16+, 18+) with content warnings, a score out of 10 with its vote count, and the chart the title ranks in.
  • Credits - director and cast as public credits, each linked to a person page with its own id.
  • Languages - subtitle tracks, each marked when it is AI translation, and audio tracks with the original named, as in Mandarin (Original). Thai, Vietnamese and AI English dubs and UNCUT versions are separate albums with rights of their own.
  • Rights - regionsAllowed, the country codes where the title may play. Pursuit of Jade lists every code except mainland China; The World of the Married lists nine Southeast Asian markets; a Thai-dubbed Jujutsu Kaisen lists Thailand alone.

Two things the record leaves out: a licence end date, and a premiere date for coming-soon titles, which carry a reservation flag and a pilot or trailer instead. Both come from comparing dated snapshots.

iQIYI price by country, VIP plans and the weekly TOP 10

iQIYI price by country, VIP plans and the weekly TOP 10

Pricing is where iQIYI differs most between markets, and its own VIP agreement says the fee may depend on country and device. The iQIYI VIP plans break down like this:

  • Tiers - Standard gives 2 screens, 1080P and early episodes; Premium adds 4 screens, 4K and the Express Package for finales ahead of others. Some markets add a cheaper Basic tier, and plan codes still call Standard gold and Premium diamond.
  • Germany - in September 2026 the web checkout listed Standard at EUR 5.99 a month or 59.99 a year and Premium at EUR 8.99 or 89.99, paid by card or PayPal.
  • Malaysia - the iQIYI price Malaysia subscribers pay has risen twice in about a year: from 1 April 2026 new members pay RM16.90 a month for Standard and RM24.90 for Premium, while existing members keep their old rate.
  • Drama schedule - the iQIYI drama schedule is printed on airing titles, in lines such as "VIPs: 6 new episodes daily at 02:00. Non-VIPs: from 10-01, 2 new episodes every Thursday to Friday".
  • iQIYI TOP 10 - six global lists refreshed every Tuesday from Monday-to-Sunday views, for Chinese and other-language dramas, movies and anime, with weeks in the list and the number of regions where a title charted.

For a streaming price tracker, each price becomes a row - market, tier, period, channel, currency, amount and date - so a rise like the Malaysian one shows up the day it lands.

The iQIYI drama list by origin: C-dramas, K-dramas, Thai series and anime

iq.com is iQIYI International, the storefront iQIYI, Inc. (Nasdaq: IQ) opened in June 2019 for viewers outside mainland China, run by IQIYI International Singapore Pte. Ltd. Its Browse library splits the iQIYI catalogue into four channels, and the filters show how it is cut:

  • Drama - regions Chinese Mainland, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, America and UK; genres from Costume, Ancient and Novel Adaptation to Urban, Sweet Love and BL/GL.
  • Movie - Chinese, Korean, Hong Kong, Japanese, Taiwanese and American films, with Wuxia, Martial Arts and Gangster as genres.
  • Anime - the iQIYI donghua list, Chinese animation filed under the Chinese Mainland region, sits next to Japanese titles licensed market by market, motion comics and an AIGC filter for AI-generated series.
  • Variety Show - talent, reality, music, food and travel formats, including iQIYI Originals such as The Rap of China.

Many Thai BL series, and Indonesian and Malaysian dramas, run as iQIYI Only exclusives, the latter produced by iQIYI itself. There is no iQIYI short drama list on the web: shorts are routed to the mobile app. iQIYI puts the reach at 191 territories with the interface and subtitles in 12 languages, yet rights are bought title by title, so lineup, Browse results and checkout currency all follow the viewer's country. Partners carry it too: Astro in Malaysia since November 2019, co-branded VIP with sooka and Indonesia's Vision+, and telcos from Maxis to Telkomsel. The last count of iQIYI subscribers covers the fourth quarter of 2023 - 100.3 million members on an average day, group-wide - and later results carry no such figure; iq.com is not reported separately.

Who uses an iQIYI movies list or drama feed, market by market

Nobody buys an iQIYI list of movies to read it once. The value sits in the fields that move: rights, VIP locks, dubs and chart positions.

  • Distributors and rights holders - checking which territories a series was cleared for on iq.com, and which Southeast Asian or diaspora markets are still open for a sale.
  • Producers in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia - following how local titles chart against Chinese hits in the weekly TOP 10, and in how many regions.
  • Subtitle and dubbing vendors - finding titles whose Arabic, French or Korean tracks are machine translated, or whose audio stops at the original language.
  • Rival Asian-content services - setting their slate against exclusives, Originals, BL series and the VIP share of each channel.
  • Telcos and bundlers - price monitoring on the plans they resell next to the direct web price, the core of a streaming subscription tracker.
  • Analysts and fan-facing guides - an iQIYI Chinese drama list for 2026 with episode counts, scores and release cadence, or an iQIYI database behind a where-to-watch table.

What they share is a need for history: the same title seen week after week, so a lost market, a new dub or a VIP lock arrives as a dated change.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Used In Web Scraping

How Artificial Intelligence Is Used In Web Scraping

Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.

What is Web Scraping and What is it Used For?

What is Web Scraping and What is it Used For?

Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.

Web Scraping for Machine Learning

If you specialize in machine learning, you need to feed large amounts of data to the algorithms. Web scraping is the easiest and the most efficient method of collecting the data from all over the Internet.

Ordering an iQIYI dataset from ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency. We write, host and maintain the collector, and you receive finished files or an endpoint rather than a tool to look after. An iQIYI project usually starts with a paid sample - one channel with every episode, its subtitle and dub tracks and its rights list, plus the VIP prices of three markets - so you can test the fields before a schedule is set. Delivery goes to S3, GCS, SFTP, a webhook or your database.

FAQ

Does iQIYI have an API?

Not a public one. iq.com runs no developer programme and publishes no keys or documentation for catalogue data; what exists is a pre-install licence for device makers and an embed code for the player. The site itself runs on internal endpoints that answer for the viewer's own country. The closest open feed is the structured data on each title page - episode count, age rating, score, credits and regionsAllowed - while prices, schedules and subtitle lists sit on the checkout and episode pages. We extract iQIYI data from all of them and serve it as an API of our own, with your fields, a market filter and your refresh schedule.

Where is iQIYI available, and why do the lists differ by country?

iQIYI says the service reaches 191 territories, and its terms add country clauses for Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Canada and the US. Each title is licensed on its own, though: Chinese dramas list nearly every country code, older Korean dramas often only Southeast Asia, and a Vietnamese-dubbed Chinese drama is cleared for Vietnam, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Even the channels vary - a viewer in Germany gets Drama, Movie, Anime and Variety Show. We deliver one row per title per country from the rights field.

How much does iQIYI cost in Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia?

It depends on the channel as much as the market, because iQIYI subscription plans are also resold by telcos. The iQIYI price Singapore resellers publish is S$8.98 a month for Standard at StarHub and Singtel. In the Philippines, Globe sells 7-, 30- and 90-day Standard passes, PHP 145 for 30 days, and a 30-day Basic pass at PHP 73. In Indonesia, Telkomsel bundles Basic, Standard and Premium with viewing data at 19, 39 and 59 thousand rupiah for 30 days. Australia, Canada and the UK are priced in local currency as well. We merge web, app-store and telco prices into one streaming services price list.

How often can an iQIYI shows list or catalogue feed be refreshed?

Daily for airing titles, because the iQIYI release schedule runs in daily or weekday drops and a VIP-only episode can open to free viewers later. Weekly suits catalogue and rights tracking and lines up with the TOP 10, refreshed every Tuesday. What's new on iQIYI shows as Just Added and New Episode badges; iQIYI coming soon titles sit in a reservable row and the Most Anticipated chart until they go online. Output is CSV, JSON, XLSX or an API, delivered to S3, GCS, SFTP or a webhook, each row stamped with market and snapshot date.

Is it legal to scrape iQIYI, and what do its terms say?

Read the terms before you commission anything. The iq.com terms, last updated in June 2024, forbid obtaining content or data with robots, spiders, crawlers or scripts without prior written approval, even though the robots file allows every path. We work only on pages a signed-out visitor can open, we never log in, and we never touch the player, the video streams or their protection. Whether that clause binds your use depends on where you are and what the data is for, so run the terms and your purpose past your own counsel; we deliver data, not legal advice.

How does it Work?

Step 1 - Make a Request

You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We’ll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.

Step 2 - Configuring Custom Web Crawlers

Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.

Step 3 - Collect and Deliver

Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.

Step 4 - Maintain and Support

Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
