Error message

bilibili.com

What it means

getSelfUid fetches the nav API to determine the logged-in user's mid; if the response contains no data.mid, the caller is not authenticated, so the library throws AuthRequiredError('bilibili.com'). This is how commands like uid/self detect that valid cookies are missing.

Solutions

1. Log in to bilibili.com and export fresh cookies (SESSDATA at minimum) into your cookie file/env, then retry.
2. Catch AuthRequiredError and run/instruct the login flow before calling commands that need identity.
3. Confirm cookies were added to the page's browser context for domain .bilibili.com.
4. If cookies look valid, hit https://api.bilibili.com/x/web-interface/nav manually and check data.isLogin/mid to debug.

Example fix

// before
const uid = await getSelfUid(page); // throws if not logged in
// after
let uid;
try {
  uid = await getSelfUid(page);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof AuthRequiredError) {
    await loginFlow(page); // set fresh SESSDATA cookies
    uid = await getSelfUid(page);
  } else throw e;
}

// preflight auth check
const nav = await (await fetch('https://api.bilibili.com/x/web-interface/nav', { headers: { cookie } })).json();
if (!nav?.data?.mid) throw new Error('Not logged in: set SESSDATA cookie before calling uid/self');

function isLoggedInNav(nav){ return !!nav?.data?.mid; }

try { const uid = await getSelfUid(page); } catch (e) { if (e instanceof AuthRequiredError) { await loginFlow(page); const uid = await getSelfUid(page); } else throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Calling getSelfUid (directly or via the uid/self commands) without login cookies, with expired SESSDATA, or when the nav API returns isLogin:false so data.mid is undefined.

Common situations: Running in CI/containers without the cookie file; cookies expired after weeks; logged out in the browser you exported cookies from; Bilibili rotating SESSDATA invalidating old exports; wrong cookie domain passed to the page context.
