Loom User Videos Scraper

Unofficial. This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Loom, Inc. It collects publicly available data only.

This actor collects public video metadata from a Loom user's profile. It extracts a set of fields including title, URL, duration, and view count, and requires only the username to start.

The actor runs in a stealth browser to handle client-side rendering on Loom's profile pages. You can set a maximum number of videos to scrape via the maxItems input, which limits the output for free users to 10 videos. The actor automatically paginates through the user's video list until it reaches the limit or runs out of content.

Open the input and run it. Enter a Loom username and set the maximum number of videos to scrape, then run the actor to get a structured dataset of video metadata.

What this Loom scraper does not do

• Only public videos. This actor cannot access private or password-protected videos. Loom may require login for some content.
• Free user cap. Loom restricts free accounts to 10 videos in the output. Paid users can scrape up to 1,000,000 videos.
• No video file download. The actor extracts metadata only, not the actual video files or transcripts.
• Profile must exist. If the username does not exist or has no public videos, the actor returns an empty dataset.

Use This Loom Scraper as an API

Call it from anything that can send an HTTP request. This returns the dataset in the same response:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/parseforge~loom-user-videos-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "username": "exampleuser", "maxItems": 10 }'

$APIFY_TOKEN is your Apify API token, from Settings in the console. For larger jobs, start the run asynchronously and collect results with a webhook. Client libraries exist for Node.js and Python as apify-client, and the full reference is in the Apify API documentation.

Save a tested input as an Apify Task and attach a schedule for recurring collection.

Troubleshooting

The actor returns no data even though the username exists. Ensure the username is correct and the profile has public videos. Try running with a different username to confirm the actor works.

I get an error about 'page not found' or 404. The username may be invalid or the profile may have been deleted. Verify the URL manually in a browser.

The actor runs but only scrapes 10 videos despite setting a higher maxItems. You are likely on a free Apify plan or the Loom user is on a free account. Upgrade your Apify plan or ask the user to upgrade their Loom account.

The output contains duplicate videos. This can happen if the actor restarts pagination. Reduce maxItems or check if the user has pinned videos that appear twice. Contact support if duplicates persist.

The actor takes too long to finish. Large maxItems values (e.g., 100,000) will take time. Reduce the limit or use a faster Apify plan. Also, ensure your proxy settings are optimal.

Something else. Open an issue with the run ID, your input with any secrets removed, what you expected and what came back, or email parseforge@protonmail.com.

Loom Scraper FAQ

Do I need a Loom account to use this actor? No, you only need the public username of the Loom user whose videos you want to scrape.

Why does the actor use a browser? Loom's profile pages load video data dynamically with JavaScript. A stealth browser is required to render the page and extract the metadata.

How many videos can I scrape with a free Apify account? Free Apify accounts are limited to 10 results per run due to Loom's free tier restriction. Paid Apify plans can scrape up to 1,000,000 videos.

What fields are included in the output? The output includes video title, URL, duration, view count, description, thumbnail URL, and upload date. The exact fields depend on what Loom exposes publicly.

Can I scrape videos from a Loom folder or collection? No, this actor only scrapes the main profile page. Folder or collection scraping is not supported.

What happens if the username doesn't exist? The actor will return an empty dataset with a warning. Double-check the username for typos.

Is this actor against Loom's terms of service? Scraping public data may violate Loom's ToS. Use responsibly and respect rate limits. This actor is for educational and research purposes.

Can I schedule this actor to run periodically? Yes, you can set up a schedule in Apify Console to run the actor daily or weekly to track changes.

Why did I get fewer videos than maxItems? The user may have fewer public videos than your limit, or Loom's pagination may have stopped early. Check the output for the actual count.

Does the actor support proxies? Yes, you can configure Apify proxy settings in the actor's input to avoid IP blocking.
