🚀 Performance Tips

Get the best results for the least cost with these simple tips:

💰 Save Money

• Check First: Start with metadata mode ($0.05/video) to make sure the video works before downloading ($0.25/video)

• Skip Comments by Default: Keep max_comments at 0 unless you actually need the comments

• One at a Time: This Actor handles one video per run — start multiple runs if you need more

⚡ Speed Tips

• Info Only is Fastest: Use metadata mode when you just want the video details without the file

• Lower Quality = Faster: Choosing low or medium quality downloads much faster than high

• Fewer Comments = Faster: Set a small max_comments value when you only need a sample

🛡️ Best Results

• Public Videos Only: Only publicly available videos can be downloaded — private or age-restricted content won't work

• Fresh Info: Views, likes, and comment counts are captured at the time of your request

• Budget Control: Set ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD environment variable to cap your spending

• Automatic Retries: Failed downloads are automatically retried with different connections

❓ FAQ

How many videos can I download at once?

This Actor handles one video URL per run. For more videos, just start multiple runs at the same time — it's easy to scale up.

Why are some stats or comments missing?

Not every platform shows all the same info. Some videos have view and like counts but no dislikes or shares. If max_comments is set to 0, comments are skipped entirely.

How long does it take?

It depends on the platform and quality you choose. Getting just the video info (metadata mode) is usually the fastest. Full downloads in high quality take longer, especially for long videos.

Why is the quality different from what I picked?

The quality setting is a preference. If the platform doesn't have a 4K version, you'll get the best quality available for that video.

How do I save results to Excel?

After the run finishes, go to the Output tab in the Apify Console. Click Export and choose Excel format. CSV and JSON are also available.

How do I get comments for a video?

Set max_comments to any number above 0. For YouTube, the limit is applied during the download. For other platforms, all available comments are collected and trimmed to your limit.

What formats can I save results in?

Video details come in JSON format by default. You can also save them as CSV or Excel using Apify's built-in export tools.

Is this free to use?

There's no subscription. Runtime is billed at $0.00001, checking video info costs $0.05 per video, and downloading a video costs $0.25. No hidden fees.
