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, a clean filename, 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 videos your account can access
• A browser-ready download link you can open or pass into your own workflow
• Clean filenames that are easier to store, sort, and import into media tools
• Extra metadata for each video, including title, creator, duration, resolution, price, thumbnails, and engagement stats
• A clear result type: free, preview, or paid

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 cleaner filenames and 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

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 will try the authenticated full-video endpoint first and fall back to the public preview if the account is not authorized or the cookie is expired.

{
  "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.

}

Important download fields:
