Hongguo Video URL & Metadata Parser

Resolve one Hongguo episode into a playable URL plus detailed media metadata. Select a specific quality or request every available quality in one parse operation.

What you get

• Temporary playable URL
• Requested and actual quality
• Available quality list
• Codec, FPS, bitrate, dimensions, size, and duration when available
• One Dataset row per quality when quality is all
• No video download, caching, or proxying by this Actor

Quick start

{
  "videoId": "7601395019102047257",
  "quality": "1080p",
  "strict": false
}

Supported qualities: 2160p, 1080p, 720p, 540p, 480p, 360p, and all.

• strict: false allows the nearest available fallback quality.
• strict: true requires the requested quality.
• quality: all returns separate Dataset rows for all available variants but charges the episode only once.

Parser vs. Direct vs. Batch

Actor	Best for	Key difference
Video Parser	Media inspection and exact quality selection	Richest metadata; supports all
Direct Video	Fast playback URL resolution	Automatic line switching; supports original
Batch Video Parser	Multiple episode IDs	Up to ten unique IDs in one request

Pricing

Event	Price	When it is charged
Actor start	$0.00005	Once per run at up to 1 GB memory
Successful video result	$0.006	Once when the episode returns at least one non-empty URL

A typical successful parse costs $0.00605. quality: all still triggers one video event for the episode. Missing URLs and parse failures do not trigger the video event. Platform usage is included.

Troubleshooting

• No playable URL: the run writes an error record and does not charge video-result.
• Exact quality unavailable: retry with strict: false or request all.
• Run spending limit reached: set maxTotalChargeUsd to at least $0.00605.
• Expired URL: rerun the Actor to obtain a current result.
