RedGifs Bulk Video Downloader

📥 RedGifs bulk video downloader

For developers, researchers, and media teams who need public RedGifs videos in a usable dataset, this Actor turns watch URLs, iframe URLs, raw IDs, or one search query into structured rows.

• Collect public links and metadata in a script with RedGifs downloader for GitHub.
• Turn a known public link or ID into one structured row with Download RedGifs from link.
• Choose an available format with sound when needed with RedGifs video downloader with sound.
• Pick a preferred source quality for each saved video with RedGifs video downloader HD.
• Find public videos from one query and export their rows with RedGifs scraper search export.
• Review hosted file details for a saved public video with Download RedGifs videos files.

📊 RedGifs video data

What you get

Each saved row represents one successfully resolved public RedGifs video. It can include the video ID, canonical and source URLs, title, description, duration, dimensions, audio flag, tags, niches, sexuality labels, thumbnails, poster, creator name, verification flag, views, likes, and publication data.

The row also shows whether it came from a direct target or search, the target type, the submitted target or search position, the requested and selected quality, the reason for the selection, the selected source link, and all available MP4 formats. Optional file and zipFile objects contain hosted file details when those fields are present.

First match only

If the same public video appears again through another URL, ID, or search result, the Actor saves the first eligible occurrence and ignores later copies. The saved row keeps the target or search context from that first match.

You can open the dataset in Apify, export it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, call it from the Apify API, schedule recurring runs, or connect the output to webhooks and downstream tools.

▶️ Run a RedGifs batch

Steps

1. Add public RedGifs watch URLs, iframe URLs, or raw video IDs in RedGifs URLs or IDs.
2. Add one optional Search query. Use a separate run for each search query.
3. Choose Preferred quality: best, hd, sd, or silent.
4. Set Maximum results to limit the total number of saved videos. Leave it empty to save all available results until the sources are exhausted.
5. Start the Actor, open the output dataset, and use directVideoUrl for the source link or downloadUrl for the row's best download link.

Only public, reachable RedGifs media is in scope. Private, deleted, unavailable, and login-only media is outside the product.

⚙️ Input

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
targets	array of strings	Adds one public RedGifs watch URL, iframe URL, or raw video ID per row.
searchQuery	string	Finds matching public videos with one query for the run. Use a separate run for each query.
preferredQuality	string	Chooses best, hd, sd, or silent. If the preferred quality is unavailable, the output explains the available choice.
maxItems	integer	Limits total saved results across direct targets and search. Leave it empty to process all available results until the sources are exhausted.

Example input

This is the public input used by a successful current-beta default-input run.

{
  "targets": [
    "https://www.redgifs.com/watch/seashellverifiablenorwaylobster",
    "welllitfavorablefulmar"
  ],
  "searchQuery": "funny",
  "preferredQuality": "best",
  "maxItems": 10
}

The sample target list and search query are useful for a first run. Clear Maximum results when you want all available results until the sources are exhausted.

💳 Pricing

Charge

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay $0.009 for each public video saved to the dataset. A run that saves no video does not create a video charge.

Use Maximum results to set a smaller result count for a test or to limit spend.

🔌 Integrations

Ways to use the data

• Start runs and read output datasets with the Apify API.
• Schedule repeat runs for known targets or one search query.
• Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.
• Send run output to webhooks or downstream tools.

❓ FAQ

What happens when the same RedGifs video appears more than once?

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence and ignores later copies. The row keeps the URL, ID, or search context from that first match.

Can I use a watch URL, iframe URL, or raw ID?

Yes. Add one of those public target types in each targets row. You can combine target types in one run.

Can I use direct targets and a search query together?

Yes. Add one search query with direct targets. Use a separate run for each search query.

What does Maximum results control?

It limits total saved results from direct targets and the search query. Leave it empty to process all available results until the sources are exhausted.

What happens if my preferred quality is not available?

The Actor uses another available quality and writes the reason in selectedQualityReason. availableFormats lists the source formats it found.

What does each download link point to?

directVideoUrl is the source-hosted RedGifs MP4 link. In a standard row, downloadUrl is the best source link. When hosted file details are present, downloadUrl and file.downloadUrl point to the hosted file.

Why is a file or ZIP field missing?

file and zipFile are optional objects. They appear only in rows that include those hosted details. Standard rows still include the source links and metadata.

Do I need a RedGifs account?

No RedGifs account is needed for public videos. The Actor does not bypass private, deleted, unavailable, or login-only media.

Can I use private or deleted videos?

No. The Actor is for public, reachable RedGifs media only.
