Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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](https://github.com/stashapp/stash) 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. ```json { "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. ```json { "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. | ### Output The Actor saves one item to the default dataset. Successful results include normalized metadata plus: ```json { "videoId": "7060747", "url": "https://www.manyvids.com/Video/7060747/soaking-wet-shower-tease", "title": "Soaking Wet Shower Tease", "creatorName": "Example Creator", "downloadUrl": "https://...", "downloadFilename": "Example Creator - Soaking Wet Shower Tease.mp4", "sourceVideoUrl": "https://...", "downloadType": "preview", "downloadUrlExpiresAt": "2026-05-26T14:30:30.000Z", "scrapeStatus": "ok", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-26T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` Important download fields: - `downloadUrl`: proxied browser-download URL. - `downloadFilename`: Windows-safe filename in `creator name - video title` format. - `sourceVideoUrl`: ManyVids media source URL. - `downloadType`: `free` for free videos, `preview` for public paid-video previews, `paid` for paid videos resolved with an authorized cookie. - `downloadUrlExpiresAt`: signed source URL expiry time when available. If the video cannot be resolved, the dataset item still contains a machine-readable status: - `invalid_input`: Required input is missing or malformed. - `not_found`: The video could not be found. - `not_free`: The video is paid and no preview/full download was available. - `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. #### Option 1: Cookie-Editor Extension 1. Install the Cookie-Editor browser extension from https://cookie-editor.com/. 2. Open ManyVids in the same browser and make sure you are logged in. 3. Click the Cookie-Editor cookie icon in the browser toolbar. 4. Click **Export** in the bottom right. 5. Choose **Header String**. 6. Paste the exported value into the Actor's `cookie` input field. #### Option 2: Browser Developer Tools 1. Open ManyVids in your browser and make sure you are logged in. 2. Press `F12` to open Developer Tools. 3. Go to the **Network** tab. 4. Filter requests by `/private`. 5. Click the `/private` request for the video. 6. Open the **Headers** tab. 7. Find the request header named `cookie`. 8. Right-click the cookie value, copy it, and paste it into the Actor's `cookie` input field. ### Limits and Notes - The Actor returns one video download result per run. - Site changes, expired cookies, unavailable videos, or changed ManyVids API responses can affect results. - Users are responsible for making sure their use of downloads complies with applicable laws and website terms. # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): Paste the full ManyVids video page URL. The actor resolves one video per run. ## `cookie` (type: `string`): Optional.
