Pipixia (皮皮虾) Home Feed Video Scraper

Scrape the Pipixia (皮皮虾) recommended home feed — the live stream of trending short videos. Returns clean, structured data for each video: caption, video download URLs, cover image, like / comment / share / play counts, duration, author info, and the share link.

Unofficial. This Actor is not affiliated with, authorized, or endorsed by Pipixia (皮皮虾) or ByteDance. It is an independent tool that retrieves publicly available data via a third-party API. Use it in compliance with Pipixia's terms and all applicable laws; you are responsible for how you use the retrieved data.

What it does

• Trending home feed — pages through Pipixia's recommended video feed. Just run it: with the default cursor 0 it starts from the freshest trending videos and follows the feed's own loadmore cursor until maxItems is reached.
• Each video includes direct video download URLs (signed, time-limited) plus a separate original-quality download list, the cover image, and full author and engagement stats.
• Item IDs are de-duplicated within a run.

No login or input is required — a bare run returns the live trending feed.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
cursor	string	"0"	Pagination cursor. "0" starts from the freshest trending videos; pagination then proceeds automatically.
maxItems	integer	50	Max total feed videos to scrape (~12 per page).
proxyConfiguration	object	off	Optional Apify Proxy to vary the source IP. Usually not needed.

Notes

• Video download URLs are signed and expire (typically ~7 days); fetch the feed close to when you intend to download.
• Data is sourced live; the upstream edge occasionally rate-limits, so the Actor retries transient blocks with exponential backoff.
