Scrape CNN video pages for direct downloadable MP4 URLs and metadata (title, thumbnail, duration, publish date).
CNN URLs to scrape. These can be individual video pages (e.g. https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/13/us/video/some-clip-digvid) or listing/section pages such as https://www.cnn.com/videos - listing pages are crawled to discover the video pages linked from them.
[ { "url": "https://www.cnn.com/videos" }]Maximum number of video items to scrape (0 = unlimited). Useful to cap cost when crawling large listing pages.
When a start URL is a listing/section page (not a direct /video/ page), follow the video links found on it. Turn off to scrape only the exact URLs you provide.
Download each MP4 file into the Actor's key-value store and add an Apify-hosted download link (videoFileUrl) to the output. Off by default: the dataset always includes the direct CNN CDN link (videoUrl). Turn on to keep permanent copies on Apify. Note: video files are large (often 60-200 MB each), so this increases storage cost and run time.
