🎥 Loom Video Downloader

🚀 Pull Loom video data and download links in seconds. Titles, durations, view counts, transcripts, captions, thumbnails, owner info. No login, no API key.

Pull live Loom video data without logging in. Pass a list of Loom share URLs and the actor returns one structured record per video with title, duration, view count, owner info, thumbnails, direct download URL, full transcript, and WebVTT captions. Built for content teams archiving knowledge bases, agencies repurposing client recordings, researchers studying screen-recorded content, and anyone who needs Loom data programmatically.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of each video, not a stale dump. The transcript and captions can be toggled off for a faster, lighter run when you only need metadata.

📋 What the Loom Video Downloader does

• 🎥 Direct download URL. Get the actual video file URL for download or storage.
• 📝 Full transcript. Fetches the spoken content as a single text block.
• 📋 WebVTT captions. Time-coded subtitles in standard format for video players.
• 🖼️ Thumbnails. Primary preview image URL.
• 👤 Owner info. Name and avatar of the creator.
• 📊 Video metadata. Title, description, duration, view count, share status.

The actor accepts a list of Loom share URLs (/share/ or /embed/) and processes each independently. Records stream into the dataset as videos finish processing, so you can start consuming results before the run is fully done.

💡 Why it matters: Loom is a critical knowledge surface for many companies but lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats screen-recording downloads for archiving, repurposing, and search workflows.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: captions, captionsLanguage, commentsEnabled, createdAt, description, downloadEnabled, downloadable, downloadableBy, duration, folderId, isArchived, isCommunityLoom, isComplete, isMeetingRecording, isProtected, mp4DownloadUrl, needsPassword, organizationId, ownerAvatarUrl, ownerId, ownerName, privacy, scrapedAt, sourceDuration, suggestedPlaybackRate, thumbnailUrl, title, totalViews, transcript, transcriptionStatus, uniqueViews, url, videoId. All 33 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
