## 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 Xfreehd Downloader

XFreeHD hosts a large library of video content, but the platform does not include a built-in download button. If you want to save a video for offline viewing, you either rely on screen recording tools or lose access when the page is no longer available. Neither option is convenient.

Xfreehd Downloader solves this by adding a simple download workflow directly inside your browser. Once the extension is installed, it detects the media playing on XFreeHD video pages and lets you save it as an MP4 file. The process takes seconds and works with the current video page structure on the beta host.

### Features

- Direct download from XFreeHD beta video pages
- MP4 output for broad device compatibility
- Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox
- Detects media when playback starts on supported pages
- Simple popup interface for quality selection
- No external software or accounts required
- Lightweight extension with minimal permissions
- Trial available before purchase

### How It Works

1. Install the extension from the latest release.
2. Open XFreeHD 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 Xfreehd

1. Install the Xfreehd Downloader extension from the latest GitHub release.
2. Open your browser and navigate to an XFreeHD video page on the beta host.
3. Press play on the video player to start the stream.
4. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar to open the popup.
5. Wait for the popup to detect the available media source.
6. Select your preferred quality from the options shown.
7. Click the download button to begin saving the file.
8. Choose a location on your device and confirm the save.

### Supported Formats

- Input: Media streams detected on XFreeHD beta 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

- Viewers who want to watch XFreeHD videos offline without buffering
- Users who prefer local file management over streaming
- Collectors archiving content they have permission to save
- Anyone looking for a simple browser-based download tool

### Common Use Cases

- Saving a video to watch later without an internet connection
- Creating a local backup of content you own or have rights to
- Transferring videos to a media server or external device
- Reducing data usage by downloading once instead of streaming repeatedly
- Organizing personal video libraries from XFreeHD

### Troubleshooting

**The extension does not detect any media on the page.**
Make sure the video is playing before opening the popup. The extension needs an active stream to detect the source.

**The download button is grayed out.**
This usually means the extension is still scanning the page. Wait a few seconds or refresh the page and try again.

**The downloaded file will not play.**
Confirm the file finished downloading completely. Corrupted files can occur if the download was interrupted or the source stream dropped.

**The extension icon is missing from the toolbar.**
Check your browser's extension management page to ensure Xfreehd Downloader is enabled. You may also need to pin the icon manually.

**I see an error about unsupported page.**
The extension works on XFreeHD beta video pages with the `/video/<id>/<slug>` route. Make sure you are on a supported URL.

### Trial & Access

- Includes **3 free downloads** so you can test the workflow first
- Email sign-in uses secure one-time password verification
- No credit card required for the trial
- Unlimited downloads are available with a paid license

### Installation Instructions

1. Open the latest release page: GitHub Releases
2. Download the correct build for your browser.
3. Install the extension.
4. Open a supported XFreeHD page.
5. Use the popup to detect and download the media.

### FAQ

**Is this an official XFreeHD tool?**
No. This is an independent browser extension created by SERP Apps. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by XFreeHD.

**Do I need an account to use the extension?**
No account is required for the trial downloads. A paid license is needed for unlimited use.

**Which browsers are supported?**
Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox. Other Chromium-based browsers may also work.

**Can I download multiple videos at once?**
The extension handles one download at a time. Start a new download after the current one finishes.

**What happens if I refresh the page during a download?**
The download will stop. You will need to start playback again and reinitialize the download process.

### Notes

- Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save
- An internet connection is required for downloads
- XFreeHD video pages use the `/video/<id>/<slug>` route on the beta host
- The extension covers both `beta.xfreehd.com` and `lb.xfreehd.com` host patterns

## CLI example

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

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
