## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Chiggywiggy Video Downloader | How to Download Chiggywiggy Videos

Chiggywiggy Downloader picks up the page's video files once it loads, so there's no hunting for them yourself.

Finding video sources on Chiggywiggy by hand takes effort, and the extension spares you that. It keeps an eye on the tab you're in, and when playback starts it lists the exact files the page serves. You don't have to dig through network activity or work out stream addresses.

### Preview

![Chiggywiggy Downloader](https://apps.serp.co/media/optimized-products/chiggywiggy-downloader-ready-state-74de5231ef.webp)

### How It Works

1. **Visit Chiggywiggy**: Browse to the Chiggywiggy page that has the video you'd like to keep and allow it to load in the normal way.
2. **Let it find the video**: Launch the extension. It looks up the video source on this page and displays a download option.
3. **Pick a format and download**: Choose a file option from the format menu, then save the finished video onto your device.

### What It Does

- Saves Chiggywiggy videos to your device for viewing offline.
- Begins when you click the button shown on the video page.
- Provides the extension's toolbar popup as a second route.
- Deals with one video per session, so there are no parallel transfers to track.
- Leaves the work to your browser's own download engine.
- Shows status in the standard browser download list.

### Chiggywiggy Downloader vs. Online Downloader Website

Because it reads the video that's playing, the extension avoids the lost context that comes with submitting a link elsewhere.

| Chiggywiggy Video Saver | Online Downloader Website |
| --- | --- |
| Aims at the video that's open right now | A pasted Chiggywiggy link can overlook embedded video sources |
| Remains on the Chiggywiggy page you're viewing | Navigating away may break the player or session context |
| Handles MP4 video from the site | Certain web tools don't pick the right video stream |
| Skips copying the page address | The Chiggywiggy page address has to be sent to another service |
| Only works with the active Chiggywiggy tab | Link-driven tools may lose track of the active player |

### FAQ

**How can I download a Chiggywiggy video?**
Open a supported Chiggywiggy video page and wait for the player to load. Then use the download button on the page, or the extension's toolbar popup, to save the MP4 file.

**Which video format does Chiggywiggy give me?**
An MP4, just as the site serves it. The extension doesn't convert or change the source, so you get the format the page offers.

**Is downloading several videos together possible?**
No. Only one video is handled per session, and the extension stays on the current page, so there are no simultaneous transfers to juggle.

**What folder do finished videos go to?**
Completed files are placed in a Chiggywiggy folder inside your browser's default download location, where they're quick to reach.

### Know Before You Use It

- Compatible direct media or HLS sources must be exposed by the page
- The player might need to initialize before anything is detected
- The page itself determines which quality options exist
- Desktop browsers are the only supported environment

> Only download videos you own or have permission to save.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("how-to-download-videos/chiggywiggy-downloader").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call how-to-download-videos/chiggywiggy-downloader --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,how-to-download-videos/chiggywiggy-downloader"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
