## 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.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

ClipIQ: Short-Video AI Rewriter & Blog Script
============================================

Turn TikTok and Instagram Reels into ready-to-publish content in one click: transcript, summary, full blog post, and teleprompter-style script. Optionally merge multiple videos into one cohesive article/script with `join_urls=true`.

What this Actor does
--------------------
- Takes one or more short-form video URLs (TikTok, Instagram Reels; YouTube only if you supply `raw_transcript`).
- Generates: accurate transcript, concise summary, structured blog post (title/subtitle/sections), and video script (hook/body/CTA).
- Saves everything to the Apify Dataset and `OUTPUT.json`. If `join_urls=true`, also produces a single combined item.

Why use it
----------
- Rapid content repurposing for creators, social media managers, agencies, copywriters, and automations.
- Clean JSON output, easy to feed into CMSs, schedulers, or AI agents.
- Optional combined output to create long-form pieces from multiple clips.

How to run
----------
1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. In the **Input** tab, set:
   - `videos`: TikTok/Reels URLs (YouTube requires `raw_transcript`).
   - `output_format`: `blog_post`, `script` (choose one or both).
   - `language`: output language (default `en-US`).
   - `tone`: e.g., `conversational`, `formal`.
   - `join_urls`: `true` to add a combined article/script across all videos.
3. Click **Start** and download results from the Dataset or `OUTPUT.json`.

Input fields (summary)
----------------------
- `videos` (array, required): video URLs.
- `output_format` (array): `blog_post`, `script`.
- `language` (string): output language; default `en-US`.
- `tone` (string): writing tone.
- `raw_transcript` (string): if provided, skips transcription.
- `max_video_duration_minutes`, `on_duration_exceeded` (`skip`/`error`).
- `join_urls` (boolean): also generate a combined output.

Example input
-------------
```json
{
  "videos": ["https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQMlmx3jOOV/"],
  "output_format": ["blog_post", "script"],
  "language": "en-US",
  "tone": "conversational",
  "join_urls": false
}
````

## Output format

For each video:

```json
{
  "video_url": "...",
  "transcript": "...",
  "summary": "...",
  "blog_post": {
    "title": "...",
    "subtitle": "...",
    "sections": [{ "heading": "...", "content": "..." }]
  },
  "script": {
    "hook": "...",
    "body": "...",
    "cta": "..."
  }
}
```

If `join_urls=true` and at least two videos succeed, one extra combined item is added with the same fields above (merging transcripts/summary/blog/script).

## Tips

- Prefer TikTok/Reels; YouTube download is disabled to avoid cost/risk—use `raw_transcript` if you need YouTube.
- Use `join_urls` to create a single long-form piece from multiple clips.
- Configure API keys and resolver token/URL as Apify environment variables (not in code).

## Legal / ethics

Outputs may contain personal data. Respect the target platform’s terms and applicable laws (e.g., GDPR). Do not collect or use personal data without a proper legal basis.\*\*\*
