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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ### ๐Ÿ“ฅ MyFreeCams downloader for media URLs MyFreeCams Downloader extracts direct media URLs from public [MyFreeCams](https://www.myfreecams.com/) live rooms and public MFC Share recordings. Add MyFreeCams room URLs, profile URLs, MFC Share recording URLs, or MFC Share recording index URLs, then export a clean Apify dataset with source pages, live-vs-recording type, titles, model context, thumbnails, duration, quality variants, and direct MP4 or HLS media links. Use this MyFreeCams downloader when you already have room or recording targets and need repeatable output for content review, cataloging, media operations, research, or an API workflow. The Actor works with public media that the source exposes to the run. You do not need a browser extension, local recorder, MyFreeCams login, or source API key for public targets. For a small first run, paste one public MFC Share recording URL or one live room URL, keep **Media to collect** on `Live rooms and recordings`, and start the Actor. The output is saved as structured dataset rows, so you can inspect it in Apify, export it, schedule future runs, or call the Actor through the Apify API. ### โœ… What this Actor does - Accepts public MyFreeCams live room URLs such as `https://www.myfreecams.com/#ExampleModel`. - Accepts MyFreeCams profile URLs such as `https://profiles.myfreecams.com/ExampleModel`. - Accepts public MFC Share recording URLs such as `https://share.myfreecams.com/a/example123`. - Accepts public MFC Share recording index URLs such as `https://share.myfreecams.com/recordings/trending`. - Saves one dataset row per successful live stream or recording media item. - Returns direct source-hosted media variants in `availableMedia`. - Exposes MP4 variants for recordings and HLS variants for live rooms when the source exposes them. - Adds source page, media type, title, model facts, thumbnail, duration, quality, dimensions, content type, and expiry evidence when available. - Skips private, paid, club-only, account-only, no-media, offline, invalid, or inaccessible targets without saving failure rows. This Actor is focused on source-hosted media URLs. It does not install a browser extension, record your screen, copy files into Apify storage, create ZIP archives, transcode video, or bypass private MyFreeCams access. ### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Data you can export Each saved row represents one MyFreeCams live stream or public MFC Share recording where direct media URLs were found. Core fields include: - `submittedUrl` - the input URL that led to the result. - `pageUrl` - the MyFreeCams or MFC Share page where media was found. - `mediaId` - source-native recording, media, or live-room identifier when available. - `mediaType` - `liveStream` or `recording`. - `title` - live room label or recording title when available. - `model` - username, display name, and profile URL when available. - `durationSeconds` - recording duration when available. Live streams use `null`. - `thumbnailUrl` - source thumbnail or preview image when available. - `availableMedia` - direct source-hosted media variants with `mediaUrl`, quality, width, height, bitrate, content type, and expiry evidence when available. Recording rows usually expose direct MP4 variants. Live room rows expose playable HLS stream variants while the room is public and online. These are source-hosted URLs, so use them while they are fresh. You can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, call it from the Apify API, schedule recurring runs, or connect results to webhooks and integrations. ### ๐Ÿš€ How to run 1. Open the Actor input. 2. Add one public MyFreeCams room, profile, recording, or recording index URL per row in **MyFreeCams URLs**. 3. Choose **Media to collect**. 4. Start the Actor. 5. Open the dataset and use `availableMedia` to pick the media variant you need. The Actor pushes successful rows during the run, so you can inspect early results before a larger batch finishes. The input accepts up to 100 URL rows. ### ๐Ÿงพ Input | Field | What to enter | | ----- | ------------- | | `startUrls` | Public MyFreeCams room, profile, MFC Share recording, or recording index URLs. | | `mediaScope` | Choose `liveAndRecordings`, `liveOnly`, or `recordingsOnly`. Default is `liveAndRecordings`. | Input example: ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.myfreecams.com/#ExampleModel" }, { "url": "https://share.myfreecams.com/recordings/trending" } ], "mediaScope": "liveAndRecordings" } ```` ### ๐Ÿ“ค Output example ```json { "submittedUrl": "https://share.myfreecams.com/a/example123", "pageUrl": "https://share.myfreecams.com/a/example123", "mediaId": "example123", "mediaType": "recording", "title": "Public Show - 6/21/2026 - 7:26pm", "model": { "username": "ExampleModel", "displayName": "ExampleModel", "profileUrl": "https://profiles.myfreecams.com/ExampleModel" }, "durationSeconds": 467, "thumbnailUrl": "https://share-media.myfreecams.com/example/poster/0.jpg", "availableMedia": [ { "mediaUrl": "https://share-media.myfreecams.com/signed/example/source/vhd.mp4", "quality": "1080p", "width": null, "height": 1080, "bitrateKbps": null, "contentType": "video/mp4", "expiresAt": "2026-06-25T02:49:17.000Z" } ] } ``` ### ๐Ÿ’ณ Pricing This Actor charges one `Media item` event for each successful live stream or recording row that includes at least one direct source-hosted media URL. It does not charge for actor start, invalid URLs, private or account-only targets, offline rooms, failed targets, empty outputs, or no-media pages. ### โš ๏ธ Limits and access MyFreeCams and MFC Share may hide some media behind account access, paid access, club-only access, or source-side availability rules. This Actor only returns media URLs that are publicly exposed to the run. Live stream URLs are fresh stream links and can become unavailable when the room goes offline or the source rotates playback URLs. Recording MP4 URLs can be signed and time-limited when the source exposes an expiry. The Actor does not mirror or store media files in Apify storage. It returns direct source-hosted URLs and metadata so your downstream workflow can decide how to use them. ### โ“ FAQ #### ๐ŸŽž๏ธ Can this download MyFreeCams recordings? It returns direct MP4 URLs for public MFC Share recordings when the recording page exposes them. Private, paid, club-only, or account-only recordings are skipped. #### ๐Ÿ“ก Can this capture a live room? It returns HLS media variants for public live rooms when the room is online and exposes playable stream URLs. It does not create a local screen recording or wait for a room to come online. #### ๐Ÿ” Do I need MyFreeCams cookies or a login? No for public targets. The Actor does not expose cookie or session inputs. It cannot retrieve media that requires a private account or access the run does not have. #### ๐Ÿ”Ž Why did my run save no rows? The submitted URLs may be private, paid, offline, unsupported, or may not expose direct media URLs. The Actor saves successful media rows only, so no-result targets do not create placeholder dataset rows. ### ๐Ÿ“ Changelog - 0.1: Initial release. ### ๐Ÿ†˜ Support For issues, questions, or feature requests, [file a ticket](https://console.apify.com/actors/maximedupre~myfreecams-downloader/issues) and I'll fix or implement it in less than 24h ๐Ÿซก ### ๐Ÿ”— Other actors - [Pornhub Downloader โ†—](https://apify.com/maximedupre/pornhub-downloader) - Extract public Pornhub video metadata and source-visible media links. - [RedGifs Bulk Downloader โ†—](https://apify.com/maximedupre/redgifs-bulk-downloader) - Export RedGifs direct MP4 links, thumbnails, tags, and video metadata. - [OnlyFans Downloader โ†—](https://apify.com/maximedupre/onlyfans-downloader) - Collect accessible OnlyFans media links and creator context. - [Streamable Video Downloader โ†—](https://apify.com/maximedupre/streamable-video-downloader) - Extract direct Streamable MP4 links and video metadata. - [Facebook Media Downloader โ†—](https://apify.com/maximedupre/facebook-media-downloader) - Export public Facebook video and reel media links. **Made with โค๏ธ by Maxime Duprรฉ** # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Add one public MyFreeCams room, profile, recording, or recording index URL per row. ## `mediaScope` (type: `string`): Choose whether to collect live rooms, recordings, or both when a target can expose more than one media type. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://share.myfreecams.com/a/b79jimdn" }, { "url": "https://share.myfreecams.com/a/b482wvn3" }, { "url": "https://share.myfreecams.com/a/5nr92ncs" }, { "url": "https://share.myfreecams.com/a/0davi0z7" }, { "url": "https://share.myfreecams.com/a/hldl40xh" } ], "mediaScope": "liveAndRecordings" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Open successful MyFreeCams media rows with direct source-hosted media URLs. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
