## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Why Ladybanana Downloader

Lady Banana uses an unusual page structure where video content often loads inside embedded iframe players after the main page has rendered. The long numeric `/video########/` route combined with playful fruit branding makes the site visually distinctive, but generic download tools frequently miss the media because they do not wait for the iframe handoff to complete.

Ladybanana Downloader is built around this specific page shape. It recognizes the `/video########/<slug>` pattern in the address bar, gives the embedded player area time to settle, and then checks for available m3u8 playlists or direct mp4 files. The result is a download tool that matches the actual browsing experience on Lady Banana rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

### Features

- Recognizes Lady Banana's distinctive `/video########/` page route in the address bar
- Waits for iframe-based player areas to finish loading before scanning for media
- Detects both m3u8 playlist sources and direct mp4 file references
- Simple popup interface that shows available media after detection
- Quality selection when multiple source variants are exposed by the page
- MP4 output format for broad device and player compatibility
- 3 free trial downloads with no credit card required
- Email-based sign-in using secure one-time password verification

### How It Works

1. Install the extension from the latest release.
2. Open Ladybanana and go to a supported video page.
3. Start playback so the extension can detect the media.
4. Open the popup or use the on-page controls.
5. Choose the quality option you want.
6. Start the download and wait for the MP4 export to finish.
7. Save the final file locally.

### Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Videos from Ladybanana

1. Navigate to `www.ladybanana.co.uk` and find a video page that follows the `/video########/<slug>` URL pattern.
2. Allow the page to fully load, including any embedded iframe player areas.
3. Start the video playing so the media source becomes active and detectable.
4. Click the Ladybanana Downloader icon in your browser toolbar to open the popup.
5. Wait while the extension scans the page for available media sources.
6. Review the detected source types shown in the popup, noting whether m3u8 or mp4 options are available.
7. Select your preferred quality level if multiple options are listed.
8. Click the download button and wait for the MP4 file to be prepared, then save it to your device.

### Supported Formats

- Input: m3u8 playlists and direct mp4 sources exposed through iframe-based players on Lady Banana video pages
- Output: MP4

Saved files use MP4 so they are easier to replay on standard media players, move between devices, or archive locally.

### Who It's For

- Regular visitors to Lady Banana who want to save videos for offline viewing
- Users who prefer a dedicated tool that recognizes the site's unique `/video########/` page structure
- People who need a straightforward download workflow without complex configuration
- Anyone looking for a privacy-focused downloader that does not require account sharing or third-party services

### Common Use Cases

- Saving a Lady Banana video to watch later without an internet connection
- Archiving a video that you want to keep after it leaves the site
- Transferring a video to a device that does not support streaming playback
- Creating a local backup of content you have permission to save
- Watching videos on devices or networks with unreliable streaming performance

### Troubleshooting

**The extension does not detect any media on the page**
Make sure the video player area has fully loaded and that you have started playback. Lady Banana pages use iframe-based embedding that may require the player handoff to complete before media sources become visible.

**The popup shows no available sources**
Try refreshing the page and waiting for the entire embedded player area to finish initializing before opening the popup again. Some pages load media asynchronously.

**Download fails partway through**
Check your internet connection and try again. Large files may require a stable connection for the full duration of the download.

**The extension does not appear on Lady Banana video pages**
Verify that you are on a page matching the `/video########/<slug>` URL pattern on `www.ladybanana.co.uk`. The extension activates only on recognized Lady Banana page structures.

**Quality options are limited**
The extension shows only the quality variants that the page and its embedded player expose. Not all videos offer multiple quality levels.

### Trial & Access

- Includes **3 free downloads** so you can test the workflow first
- Email sign-in uses secure one-time password verification

### Installation Instructions

1. Open the latest release page: [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/serpcompany/ladybanana-downloader/releases/latest)
2. Download the correct build for your browser.
3. Install the extension.
4. Open a supported Ladybanana page.
5. Use the popup to detect and download the media.

### FAQ

**Does the extension work on every Lady Banana video page?**
It works on pages that follow the `/video########/<slug>` URL pattern and use an iframe-based player. Results depend on how the page exposes its media sources.

**Do I need an account to use the extension?**
You need to sign in with your email using a one-time password to activate the trial or paid license. No Lady Banana account is required.

**Can I download videos in resolutions other than what is listed?**
The extension shows only the quality variants that the page and its embedded player make available at the time of detection.

**Is this extension affiliated with Lady Banana?**
No. Ladybanana Downloader is an independent tool built by SERP Apps. It is not officially associated with or endorsed by Lady Banana.

**Why does the extension need to wait for the iframe to load?**
Lady Banana embeds its video player inside an iframe area that loads separately from the main page. Waiting for this handoff ensures the media source is visible before scanning.

### Notes

- Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save
- An internet connection is required for downloads
- Lady Banana pages use iframe-based players that may load media asynchronously after the main page renders
- The extension is designed for the `/video########/<slug>` URL pattern found on `www.ladybanana.co.uk`
