## What's an Apify Actor?

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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## xHamster Video Downloader

Save supported xHamster 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 pages that require authentication, 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 xHamster videos
- Support for modern `/videos/{slug}-{id}` URLs and legacy `/movies/{id}/{slug}.html` URLs
- Support for xHamster domains and mirrors, including localized/mobile subdomains
- A browser-ready download link you can open or pass into your own workflow
- 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](https://github.com/stashapp/stash) 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

### Input

#### Download a public video

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

```json
{
  "url": "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.

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

| Field    | Required | Description                                                                                          |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `url`    | Yes      | Full xHamster video page URL.                                                                        |
| `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.        |

### Output

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

```json
{
  "thumbnailUrl": "https://...",
  "downloadUrl": "https://...",
  "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`: browser-ready download page link. The page resolves a fresh media source at click time.
- `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

- The Actor returns one video download result per run.
- Site changes, unavailable videos, expired cookies, or changed page scripts can affect results.
- Users are responsible for making sure their use of downloads complies with applicable laws and website terms.

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "url": "https://xhamster.com/videos/decorate-my-tree-with-me-sfw-xhYm0sm"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("datavoid/xhamster-video-downloader").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
