RedGIFs Video Downloader

Download RedGIFs videos and photos in bulk: scrape redgifs.com by keyword search, niche, account or post URL and get the data of each post with each file saved in your run's Key-Value Store. Videos are named <creator>_video-<id>.mp4 (for example creatorname_video-examplepostid.mp4) and photos <creator>_image-<id>.jpg, so you sort them by creator at once. Every row has the link to the saved file and the creator's OnlyFans link. Get the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or through the API.

• Saved file: storedFile (key, public link, size in bytes, type, status).
• File names: <creator>_video-<id>.mp4 and <creator>_image-<id>.<ext>, no folders, the same names inside videos.zip. A post without a creator is saved as unknown_video-<id>.mp4.
• Photos and videos: an image post is saved as the full-size picture, a video post as the .mp4. mediaType says which.
• Short rows by default (files first). Set extractDetails to true for the full row.
• Optional videos.zip with all saved files of the run (createZip).

Need only links and data, without files? Use the RedGIFs Video Scraper.

⭐ 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, Redgifs Video Scraper, XFree Video Scraper, Erome 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.

• Real files, lower price. $0.008 per saved file; the busiest RedGifs downloader charges $0.009 per video and gives links only. There is no start fee.
• Files named for you. Every video is <creator>_video-<id>.mp4 and every photo <creator>_image-<id>.<ext>, so you sort by creator at once.
• You choose the quality. videoQuality saves the full-quality .mp4 (best) or the smaller copy (preview).
• One ZIP of the run. Turn on createZip and get videos.zip with all files under the same names.
• Photos too. An image post is saved as the full-size picture, and mediaType tells you which is which.
• Free when nothing is saved. Skipped and failed files, and duplicate posts, cost nothing; their rows are still returned.
• Honest runs. A run summary (OUTPUT) and a health status (RUN_HEALTH) tell you what was saved and why a run is not ok.
• One schema across video sites. The same fields and inputs as our other video actors: adding a site means changing the actor name, not your code.

🎯 Use cases

• Archive a creator's whole account as named files, in one ZIP.
• Build a local library of videos from a niche or a search, sorted by creator.
• Collect creators and their OnlyFans links for outreach or research.
• Feed an editing or content-review pipeline with real .mp4 files through the Apify API.
• Run the same pipeline over several video sites, since they share one schema.

🔎 What it extracts

One row per unique post, with its file saved. 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.

🚀 How to scrape RedGIFs videos and save the files

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. Open the Output tab: Files links to your files in the Key-Value Store, Saved files lists the rows. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or fetch them with the Apify API.

Example inputs:

{ "videoUrls": ["https://www.redgifs.com/watch/examplepostid"] }

{ "usernames": ["creatorname"], "maxResults": 20, "createZip": true }

{ "tags": ["just-boobs"], "tagSort": "latest", "maxResults": 10, "videoQuality": "preview" }

{ "searchQueries": [{ "query": "amateur", "filter": "all" }], "maxResults": 10, "extractDetails": true }

🔌 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.

💾 Where the files are

• On the Output tab, the Files link opens the run's default Key-Value Store. Each file is there as <creator>_video-<id>.mp4 or <creator>_image-<id>.<ext>. storedFile.url is its public link.
• With createZip set to true, the store also holds videos.zip (key videos.zip) with all saved files, under the same names. The OUTPUT record has zipUrl (the signed link to the ZIP) and fileCount (files saved).
• Links are signed. A store that is not named is deleted by Apify after about 7 days. Download the files you need before that, or copy them to a named store.
• The storage is billed by Apify to your account, like any run.

storedFile.status says what happened to the file:

Status	Meaning	Charged
saved	The file is in the store.	Yes, video-file-saved.
skipped	Not downloaded: the file is over maxFileSizeMb, the run reached maxTotalDownloadMb, the post has no file link, or the free plan limit of 50 files per run is reached. storedFile.error says which.	No
failed	The download failed (for example HTTP 404). One retry is made first. storedFile.error says why.	No

The row of a skipped or failed file is still returned, free.

⚖️ Rights

Saved videos and photos belong to their creators. You are responsible for having the right to save, keep and use them, and for following the law and redgifs.com terms.

🎬 Quality

videoQuality picks the file to save: best is the full-quality .mp4 (videoFileUrl), preview is the smaller copy (previewVideoUrl). An image post is always saved as the full-size picture (imageUrl).

🔗 OnlyFans link

creator.onlyfansUrl is the creator's OnlyFans link, e.g. https://onlyfans.com/creatorname, when the creator has set one on the profile. Otherwise it is null.

📊 Run stats

Each run saves two records in the key-value store. OUTPUT has the run counters and these for the files:

Key	Meaning
filesSaved, filesSkipped, filesFailed	Files by status.
fileCount	Files saved.
bytesSaved	Total size of the saved files.
zipUrl	The signed link to videos.zip; null without a ZIP.
stopReason	The cap that ended the run: maxResults, maxRequests, maxPagesPerSource or chargeLimit; else null.

RUN_HEALTH: {"status": "ok" | "degraded" | "failed", "reason": ...}. reason says why a run is not ok, for example that some files failed.

💰 Pricing

Pay per event, one event: $0.008 per saved file ($8.00 per 1,000 files). There is no start fee. The row alone is free, and so are skipped and failed files and duplicate posts.

Event	Price	When it is charged
video-file-saved	$0.008 ($8.00 per 1,000)	Each video or photo file saved in your store.

• Free plan: up to 1,000 results per run with full details, and up to 50 files saved per run. Paying plans have no cap per run.
• For comparison, the busiest RedGifs downloader charges $0.009 per video and gives links only. This actor saves the real files.

❓ FAQ

Where is the video data and where are the downloaded files?

Open the Files link on the Output tab of the run. Each file is there as <creator>_video-<id>.mp4 or <creator>_image-<id>.<ext>, and storedFile.url in every row links to it.

How do I download all videos of one creator?

Put the account name in usernames, set maxResults, and turn on createZip to get one videos.zip.

How do I export RedGIFs videos to Excel or CSV?

Run the actor, open the Output tab and pick Excel or CSV in the export options. JSON, XML and HTML are there too, and the Apify API returns the same data.

How much does it cost to bulk download RedGIFs videos?

$0.008 per saved file, nothing for the row alone, skipped or failed files. The free Apify plan saves up to 50 files per run.

Can I use it with other video sites?

Yes. Our video actors share one output schema, so the same pipeline reads them all. See the list below.

Data notice

This actor returns only what the site shows publicly at run time. We don't store or keep that data and are not its controller — you decide how you use it.
