📊 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 submitted target or search query, the source links, the selected quality, the reason for the selection, and all available MP4 formats. downloadUrl is the source-hosted link for the selected quality.

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 downloadUrl for the selected source MP4 link.

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

❓ 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 downloadUrl point to?

It is the source-hosted RedGifs MP4 link for the selected quality. availableFormats lists the other source formats found for the video.

Can I save the video files in Apify storage?

No. The Actor returns source-hosted MP4 links and does not create hosted files or ZIP archives.

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.

Can I use a RedGifs profile or category URL?

No. Direct targets support only public watch URLs, iframe URLs, and raw video IDs. Use one search query when you want to find public videos.

Can I use the links in GitHub or another script?

Yes. Start runs and read the dataset with the Apify API, then pass the returned source links to your own workflow.
