ManyVids Video Downloader

Save supported ManyVids videos from a URL for offline viewing, archiving favorites, QA, or organizing a personal media library. Paste a video link, optionally add your logged-in cookie for videos your account can access, and the Actor returns a browser-ready download link and useful metadata without making you dig through page code or browser network requests.

What You Get

• A simple URL-based workflow for supported ManyVids videos
• Support for free videos, public previews, and paid or membership videos your account can access
• A direct download link: open it and the download starts right away
• Extra metadata for each video, including title, creator, duration, resolution, price, thumbnails, and engagement stats
• A clear result type: free, preview, paid, or membership

Common Use Cases

• Build a personal offline ManyVids media library from supported video URLs
• Prepare downloaded videos for organizers like Stash App or a Plex Media Library
• Keep favorite videos together with useful metadata
• Archive videos your account can access so your collection is easier to browse later
• Collect preview videos and metadata for cataloging, QA, or research workflows

Pricing

The pricing below applies from October 14, 2026.

• Pay only for results. The Actor charges once per video download link it returns. Failed, invalid, or unavailable URLs never trigger the per-video charge. See the Pricing tab for the current price.
• Free Apify plan: each account can download 1 video with this Actor. The prefilled example URL always works, so you can test the Actor as often as you like.
• Paid Apify plans: no limit. Upgrade at apify.com/pricing to keep downloading after your first video.

Input

Download a free video or paid preview

Use this when you do not need account-only access. Paid videos will fall back to the public preview if one is available.

{
  "url": "https://www.manyvids.com/Video/7060747/soaking-wet-shower-tease",
  "debug": false
}

Download a paid video your account can access

Paste the Cookie header value from a logged-in ManyVids browser session. The Actor uses it to fetch the full video your account has purchased or can watch through a membership. If the cookie does not unlock the video, the run returns invalid_cookie or not_free (see below) instead of the public preview.

{
  "url": "https://www.manyvids.com/Video/7060747/soaking-wet-shower-tease",
  "cookie": "XSRF-TOKEN=eyJpdiI6IkhvRGhDd21kcUJWdmlGU0R5SU5...",
  "debug": false
}

Field	Required	Description
url	Yes	Full ManyVids video page URL.
cookie	No	Full Cookie header value from your logged-in browser session. Leave empty for free videos and public paid previews.
debug	No	Adds selected diagnostics and raw ManyVids API data. Usually only needed while troubleshooting.
proxyConfiguration	No	Residential proxy pinned to the U.S. Virgin Islands by default. Override the country/groups or disable it via Apify's proxy editor.

Output

The Actor saves one item to the default dataset. Successful results include normalized metadata plus:

{
  "thumbnailUrl": "https://...",
  "downloadUrl": "https://dl.vacuvids.com/d/v1...",
  "downloadType": "preview",
  "title": "Soaking Wet Shower Tease",
  "description": "A clean, HTML-free description of the video.",
  "creatorName": "Example Creator",
  "price": 5.99,
  "currency": "USD",
  "scrapeStatus": "ok",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-26T12:00:00.000Z",
  "videoId": "7060747"
}

Important download fields:

• downloadUrl: direct download link. Open the link and the download starts right away. The link works for 1 hour. After that it opens the vacuvids.com page with your video filled in, where one more click starts the download. For a paid or membership video, paste your cookie there again to get the full video.
• downloadType: free for free videos, preview for public paid-video previews, paid for paid videos resolved with an authorized cookie, membership for videos your account can watch through a creator membership (no separate purchase needed).

If the video cannot be resolved, the dataset item still contains a machine-readable status:

• invalid_input: Required input is missing or malformed.
• invalid_cookie: A cookie was supplied but did not unlock the video, so only the public preview was reachable. The session may be expired, signed out, or from an account that has not purchased it. The run fails instead of returning that preview.
• not_found: The video could not be found.
• not_free: The video is paid and no preview/full download was available, or the supplied cookie is signed in but the account has not purchased the video.
• no_download_url: Metadata was found, but no usable media URL was exposed.
• api_error: ManyVids returned an unexpected API error.

Cookie Tips

• Copy only the Cookie header value, for example XSRF-TOKEN=eyJpdiI6IkhvRGhDd21kcUJWdmlGU0R5SU5....
• Use a fresh cookie from an active browser session. Cookies can expire quickly.
• The cookie must belong to an account that already has access to the paid video.
• Keep debug disabled when using real cookies unless you are actively troubleshooting.
