Vigloo Episode Scraper - Short Drama Episode List

Scrape the full episode list of any Vigloo short drama. Give drama links or IDs, and get one row for each episode with its episode number, season, length, release date, unlock price in coins, free or paid status, thumbnail and watch link.

What is Vigloo Episode Scraper?

Vigloo is a short-drama streaming app with vertical dramas in many languages. Each drama has many short episodes of about 1 to 2 minutes. The first episodes are free, and viewers unlock the other episodes with coins.

Vigloo Episode Scraper works as an unofficial Vigloo episode API. It opens each drama that you give it and saves one row for each episode, for every season. It works for the catalog of any country and in all 12 site languages.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get API access, scheduling, integrations, monitoring and exports in many formats.

How to use Vigloo Episode Scraper

You can run the scraper from Apify Console, from the Apify API, from code, or from an AI assistant. All examples get the episodes of one drama from the US catalog. Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with your token from Settings → API & Integrations in Apify Console.

In Apify Console

1. Open the Actor and fill in the Input tab.
2. Click Start.
3. Watch the progress in the Log tab, then open the Output tab.
4. Click Save as a new task to run the same input again with one click, or to set a schedule.

With the Apify API (HTTP)

Run the scraper and get its results in one request:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/hgservices~vigloo-episode-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"programUrls": ["https://www.vigloo.com/en/content/15003644"], "country": "us", "language": "en"}'

Add &format=csv or &format=xlsx to the URL to get CSV or Excel instead of JSON.

With the JavaScript client

Install the client with npm install apify-client, then run:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('hgservices/vigloo-episode-scraper').call({
    programUrls: ['https://www.vigloo.com/en/content/15003644'],
    country: 'us',
    language: 'en',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const episode of items) {
    console.log(episode.episodeNumber, episode.durationText, episode.isFree ? 'free' : `${episode.price} coins`);
}

With the Python client

Install the client with pip install apify-client (version 3.0 or later), then run:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("hgservices/vigloo-episode-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "programUrls": ["https://www.vigloo.com/en/content/15003644"],
        "country": "us",
        "language": "en",
    }
)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The run was not found.")

for episode in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    status = "free" if episode["isFree"] else f'{episode["price"]} coins'
    print(episode["episodeNumber"], episode["durationText"], status)

With Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants (MCP)

Connect your AI assistant to the Apify MCP server. The assistant can then run Vigloo Episode Scraper for you and answer from the results. To give the assistant this Actor as a tool, use this server URL:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=hgservices/vigloo-episode-scraper

• Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop): open Settings → Connectors, click Add custom connector and paste the URL.
• Claude Code: run claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=hgservices/vigloo-episode-scraper".
• ChatGPT: in Settings → Apps & Connectors, turn on developer mode, create a connector and paste the URL.
• Cursor, VS Code, Codex and other MCP clients: add the URL as a remote (HTTP) MCP server. With the Apify CLI, you can also run apify mcp install cursor --tools hgservices/vigloo-episode-scraper (use claude-code, vscode or codex in place of cursor for the other clients).

Sign in with your Apify account when the assistant asks. Then ask in plain language, for example:

• "How many free episodes does this Vigloo drama have, and what do the other episodes cost? https://www.vigloo.com/en/content/15003644"
• "Get the episode lengths of these Vigloo dramas and give me the average length."
• "Compare the unlock price of this Vigloo drama in the US and in India."

With integrations

Send the results to Google Sheets, Slack, email, Zapier, Make, n8n, Airbyte or any webhook from the Actor's Integrations tab.

Tips

• Get all drama links first. Run Vigloo Drama Scraper to get every drama of a country catalog. Then give its url values to this Actor.
• Compare prices across countries. Run the scraper one time for each country. The unlock price of the same episode is different in different countries.
• Track new episodes. Save your input as a task and set a daily or weekly schedule. Compare the releaseDate values to find the new episodes.

Limits

• The catalog is different in each country. The scraper skips a drama that is not available in the selected country. The log tells you which dramas it skipped.
• Videos are not included. Vigloo videos are protected and need a paid account. The scraper saves the data about the episodes, not the videos.
• Episodes have no titles or descriptions. Vigloo does not show them.
• Dramas with more than one season have no watch link. The Vigloo player link has no season number, so the episodeUrl field is empty for these dramas. All other fields are filled.
