Redgifs Video Scraper

Scrape RedGIFs videos from redgifs.com by keyword search, niche, account or post URL, and get clean data as JSON, CSV or Excel, or through the API. Every video row has the direct link to the video file (.mp4): open it to play the video, or save it to download it. You also get the creator, the creator's OnlyFans link, tags, views, likes, date, duration, size, audio flag, poster and thumbnail. No login, no browser.

• Direct video links: videoFileUrl (full quality) and previewVideoUrl (smaller copy).
• Image posts are kept as rows with mediaType image and the full-size picture in imageUrl.
• Searches, niches and accounts are read page by page until your maxResults or another cap in the input is reached.

The actor reads public data and returns the links to the files.

Want the files saved, named creatorname_video-id.mp4? Use RedGIFs Video Downloader (it charges per saved file).

⭐ Why this one

1️⃣ One schema across video sites. All our video actors share one output schema and one input schema. Build your pipeline once: our other video actors (Erome Video Scraper, XFree Video Scraper, Erome Video Downloader, RedGIFs Video Downloader, XFree Video Downloader) take the same input and return the same fields, so adding a site means changing the actor name, not your code.

• Low price, no start fee. $1.00 per 1,000 videos; the median RedGIFs scraper charges $9.50, and 3 of 5 add a start fee. You pay only for rows you get.
• Every input a RedGIFs buyer needs. Keyword searches, niches, accounts and post URLs, alone or mixed in one run, with one row per post.
• A direct video link on every row. videoFileUrl (full quality) and previewVideoUrl come with the data, so you can play or download the file at no extra request.
• Links-only mode. Turn on onlyVideoUrls for rows with just the post page and the two links: the fastest run, at the same price per post.
• Honest runs. A run summary with a list of failed inputs, and a health status (ok, degraded or failed) with the reason.
• Creator data included. Username, display name, profile link and OnlyFans link on every row, plus account data once per account.

🔎 What it extracts

One row per unique post. The page types it reads:

Page type	Example URL	Input to use
Search	https://www.redgifs.com/search/gifs?query=amateur&order=score	searchQueries or startUrls
Account	https://www.redgifs.com/users/creatorname	usernames or startUrls
Niche	https://www.redgifs.com/niches/just-boobs	tags or startUrls
Post page	https://www.redgifs.com/watch/examplepostid	videoUrls or startUrls

• Niche names are the slug of the niche URL (just-boobs).
• Search filter: all (default) or post. A search returns at most 10,000 results (a limit of the site).
• An order in a search, account or niche URL is used as given when the site accepts it.
• Account data (followers, total posts, bio and more) is saved once per account in the run stats (accountProfiles).

🚀 How to scrape RedGIFs videos

1. Open the actor on Apify and click Try for free.
2. Fill in a search, niches or accounts, or paste redgifs.com URLs into startUrls or videoUrls.
3. Click Start.
4. Download the RedGIFs video data as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Output tab, or fetch it with the Apify API.

Example inputs:

{ "searchQueries": [{ "query": "amateur", "filter": "all" }], "maxResults": 50 }

{ "tags": ["just-boobs"], "tagSort": "latest", "maxResults": 100 }

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) can run this actor through Apify's MCP server. Connect the server in your assistant, then ask, for example:

Use the RedGIFs Video Scraper to get the 20 newest videos of the niche just-boobs with their direct .mp4 links.

🔌 Run it your way

• Schedule it with Apify schedules.
• Call it from the Apify API and its clients (Python, JavaScript).
• Connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier, webhooks or Google Sheets.
• Ask an AI agent to run it: see Use with AI agents (MCP).

🔀 Mixing inputs and duplicates

You can use all five source inputs in one run: startUrls, searchQueries, usernames, tags, videoUrls.

Rule	What happens
One row per post	Matched by id over the whole run: a post found by a search and by its account is written once.
First input kept	sourceType and sourceUrl keep the first input that found it.
Same input twice	Read once.
maxResults	One cap for the run, split fairly over the inputs still to read.
Input check	Every input is checked: valid ones run, others get a clear message.

🎬 Direct video links

videoFileUrl is the direct link to the video file, e.g. https://media.redgifs.com/ExamplePostId.mp4. Open it in a browser to play the video, or save it to download it.

previewVideoUrl is the smaller copy, e.g. https://media.redgifs.com/ExamplePostId-mobile.mp4.

• The links come with every row at no extra request.
• url is the post's page on redgifs.com, not the file.
• Image posts have no video link: their videoFileUrl, previewVideoUrl and durationSeconds are null and imageUrl holds the picture.

⚡ Links-only mode (onlyVideoUrls)

With onlyVideoUrls set to true, each row has only the post page and the two direct video links. It is the fastest run. The price per post is the same as for a full row. Image posts have no video links: their links-only row has empty video links and an extra imageUrl.
