# Loom Video Downloader - Public Stream Links (`khadinakbar/loom-video-downloader`) Actor Resolve downloadable public Loom share and embed URLs into expiring HLS stream links with metadata. It only returns videos that Loom marks downloadable; no login, password bypass, or private-video access. - **URL**: https://apify.com/khadinakbar/loom-video-downloader.md - **Developed by:** [Khadin Akbar](https://apify.com/khadinakbar) (community) - **Categories:** Videos, Developer tools, MCP servers - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $3.00 / 1,000 loom video results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Loom Video Downloader Resolve a public Loom share or embed URL into a temporary, Loom-permitted video stream link plus clean metadata. It is for teams archiving or processing videos they are entitled to download—not for accessing private, password-protected, login-gated, or download-disabled content. ### What it returns One dataset row per unique Loom video URL: | Field | Meaning | | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `downloadUrl` | Temporary signed HLS stream URL when Loom permits downloading. It can expire, and its media format is HLS rather than MP4. | | `title`, `description`, `ownerName` | Public video metadata exposed by Loom. | | `thumbnailUrl`, `durationSeconds`, `width`, `height` | Preview and media details when available. | | `downloadable`, `status`, `error` | Permission and diagnostic context for every input. | The actor also writes a compact `OUTPUT` record and a detailed `RUN_SUMMARY` record to the default key-value store. ### Use it when - You have a public `loom.com/share/...` or `loom.com/embed/...` URL. - You are authorized to save or process the video. - You need a structured stream URL and metadata for an archive, media pipeline, or agent workflow. ### Do not use it when - The video is private, password-protected, login-gated, or only shared with named users. - Loom does not mark the video downloadable and `requireDownloadPermission` is enabled. - You need captions or a transcript. Use the related [Loom Transcript Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapersdelight/loom-transcript-scraper) for that separate job. ### Input ```json { "loomUrls": ["https://www.loom.com/share/002508e86fde4232bb8de474eb5c65c4"], "maxVideos": 20, "requireDownloadPermission": true } ```` Accepted values in `loomUrls` are public share URLs, embed URLs, iframe snippets, or a 32-character Loom video ID. Duplicate video IDs are processed only once. `requireDownloadPermission` defaults to `true`. Leave it enabled to return a stream only if Loom's public page marks the video downloadable. Disabling it can return a public playback manifest; it never bypasses passwords, login, private visibility, or any other access control. ### Output example ```json { "videoId": "002508e86fde4232bb8de474eb5c65c4", "sourceUrl": "https://www.loom.com/share/002508e86fde4232bb8de474eb5c65c4", "status": "video_resolved", "downloadUrl": "https://luna.loom.com/id/.../playlist-multibitrate.m3u8?...", "streamFormat": "hls", "downloadable": true, "title": "Screen and engagement tips", "durationSeconds": 151, "width": 1152, "height": 720, "error": null } ``` ### Pricing | Event | Price | | --------------------------- | -------: | | Valid actor run | $0.00005 | | Resolved downloadable video | $0.003 | Platform compute and proxy usage are charged separately under Pay per event + usage. A run with `maxVideos: 20` has event charges capped at `$0.06005`; diagnostic rows for unavailable or restricted videos are not billed as results. ### Reliability and limits - Signed stream URLs are short-lived. Use them promptly and resolve the Loom link again if one expires. - The actor makes one public page request per unique video, no login or cookies required. - `not_downloadable`, `access_restricted`, and `not_found` are useful diagnostic outcomes and leave the run successful when no upstream outage occurred. - An all-upstream failure causes an honest failed run with `OUTPUT` and `RUN_SUMMARY` preserved. ### API / agent use Use the actor with one public Loom URL when you need a single structured media record, or pass a bounded list for batch processing. Read the default dataset for rows and `OUTPUT` for the compact terminal result. The actor has no side effect on Loom and does not alter videos, permissions, or accounts. ### Compliance Only process content you own or are authorized to download. This actor intentionally respects Loom's public-page download indicator and does not bypass passwords, logins, visibility settings, DRM, or access controls. # Actor input Schema ## `loomUrls` (type: `array`): Use this when you have public Loom share or embed URLs and need Loom-permitted downloadable stream links. Example: https://www.loom.com/share/002508e86fde4232bb8de474eb5c65c4. Accepts share URLs, embed URLs, iframe snippets, and 32-character video IDs. Not for login-gated, password-protected, or private videos. ## `maxVideos` (type: `integer`): Use this to cap the number of unique Loom videos processed and billed in one run. Defaults to 20; allowed range is 1–200. This is a run-wide cap, not a per-URL cap. ## `requireDownloadPermission` (type: `boolean`): Use this to return a stream link only when Loom marks the public video downloadable. Defaults to true and should normally remain enabled. Turning it off can return playback-only manifests, not an authorization bypass and not a way to access private or password-protected videos. ## Actor input object example ```json { "loomUrls": [ "https://www.loom.com/embed/002508e86fde4232bb8de474eb5c65c4" ], "maxVideos": 20, "requireDownloadPermission": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `videos` (type: `string`): Resolved public Loom video streams and diagnostic records. ## `output` (type: `string`): Compact stable terminal summary. ## `runSummary` (type: `string`): Detailed terminal diagnostics and billing telemetry. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
