Media URLs are direct links you can download with any HTTP client (curl, wget, Python requests) or open in a browser. They stay valid as long as the original post is public — fetch them whenever you need, no rush.

How much does it cost?

$0.003 per successful link ($3 per 1,000). No start fee, no per-item fee on failures: if a link is deleted, private or invalid you pay nothing. Apify's free plan credit covers well over a thousand links a month.

Integrations

Push results into Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Google Drive or Slack, trigger runs via webhooks or the Apify API, or let AI agents call it as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

Error handling

Bad links never fail the run. Each one returns an item with success: false and an error message, and is not charged.

Error	Meaning
Not a single post link	Profile, music, shop or home page links have no single media to download
The post was deleted, set to private…	The post is gone or not public
Age-restricted or login-only	The platform requires login for this post
This Actor only handles …	The link belongs to another platform — try the All-in-One Social Video Downloader
