xHamster Video Downloader

Save supported xHamster videos from a URL for offline viewing, archiving favorites, QA, or organizing a personal media library. Paste one video link or a whole list, optionally add your logged-in cookie for pages that require authentication, and the Actor returns a browser-ready download link and useful metadata for each video without making you dig through page code or browser network requests.

What You Get

• Batch downloads: paste a list of video URLs and get one download link per video, with several resolved at the same time
• A simple URL-based workflow for supported xHamster videos
• Support for modern /videos/{slug}-{id} URLs, legacy /movies/{id}/{slug}.html URLs, and embed player links (/embed/{id}, /xembed.php?video={id})
• Support for xHamster domains and mirrors (such as xhamster.desi, numbered xhamster2.com style domains, xhopen.com, and xhaccess.com), including localized/mobile subdomains
• A direct download link: open it and the download starts right away
• Metadata for each video, including title, description, creator, duration, thumbnail, tags, views, likes, dislikes, and comments

Common Use Cases

• Build a personal offline xHamster 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 video 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. In a batch, videos past the limit are skipped and never charged.
• Paid Apify plans: no limit. Upgrade at apify.com/pricing to keep downloading after your first video.

Input

Download a public video

Use this when the video page does not require a logged-in session.

{
  "urls": ["https://xhamster.com/videos/decorate-my-tree-with-me-sfw-xhYm0sm"],
  "debug": false
}

Download a video that requires authentication

Paste the Cookie header value from a logged-in xHamster browser session.

{
  "urls": ["https://xhamster.com/videos/decorate-my-tree-with-me-sfw-xhYm0sm"],
  "cookie": "session=value; another=value",
  "debug": false
}

Download a batch of videos

Paste as many video URLs as you need (up to 1,000 per run). Each video gets its own dataset item and download link, and several are resolved at the same time. Repeated URLs are downloaded once.

{
  "urls": ["https://xhamster.com/videos/decorate-my-tree-with-me-sfw-xhYm0sm", "https://xhamster.com/videos/fixing-up-the-yard-xhwATNH"]
}

Field	Required	Description
urls	Yes	Full xHamster video page URLs, one per line. A single url string is also accepted.
cookie	No	Full Cookie header value from your browser session, used only when the page requires authentication.
debug	No	Adds selected diagnostics and raw page model data. Usually only needed while troubleshooting.
proxyConfiguration	No	Residential proxy pinned to the U.S. Virgin Islands by default. Keep it on, and see Limits and Notes before you change its country.

The number of videos resolved at the same time follows the memory you give the run, so there is nothing to set. A long list finishes sooner with more memory (Run options): in our tests a run at 1 GB (the default) resolved about 2 videos a second, and more memory resolves more at once, up to 4 GB.

Output

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

{
  "thumbnailUrl": "https://...",
  "downloadUrl": "https://dl.vacuvids.com/d/v1...",
  "downloadType": "free",
  "title": "Decorate my tree with me SFW",
  "description": "A clean, HTML-free description of the video.",
  "creatorName": "destinationkat",
  "price": 0,
  "currency": "USD",
  "tags": ["Christmas", "Vlog"],
  "likes": 43,
  "dislikes": 6,
  "scrapeStatus": "ok",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-08T13:39:42.160Z",
  "videoId": "27933507"
}

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.
• downloadType: currently always free.
• price / currency: currently always 0 / USD.

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 or was closed.
• api_error: The page could not be fetched or parsed.

Cookie Tips

• Copy only the Cookie header value, for example session=value; another=value.
• Use a fresh cookie from an active browser session. Cookies can expire quickly.
• Keep debug disabled when using real cookies unless you are actively troubleshooting.

How to get your Cookie?

1. Install the Cookie-Editor browser extension from https://cookie-editor.com/.
2. Open xHamster 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.

Limits and Notes

• Up to 1,000 video URLs per run, each with its own download result. Repeated URLs are downloaded once.
• Runs time out after 1 hour by default. For long lists, raise the timeout in the run options; near the timeout the Actor stops starting new videos and the run status says how many were not started.
• If the run reaches your maximum charge, the Actor stops starting new videos and the run status says how many were not started. Nothing is charged for them.
• xHamster does not show videos in some regions, including the Apify servers this Actor runs on. Keep the proxy on, with the default country (U.S. Virgin Islands) or another one where xHamster works. With the proxy turned off, or set to a blocked country, videos come back as not_found.
• Site changes, unavailable videos, expired cookies, or changed page scripts can affect results.
