🔧 Input

Loom Video URLs — paste one or more Loom video URLs. Both /share/ and /embed/ link formats are supported. Example: https://www.loom.com/share/e41353f2fe1c43eba6c6829693e0f2c5

Max Items — limit the number of videos to process. Free users get a preview of up to 10 videos. Paid users can process up to 1,000,000.

Include Transcript — enable to extract the full spoken text from each video. Not all videos have transcripts — check the transcriptionStatus field.

Include Captions (VTT) — enable to pull WebVTT formatted captions with timestamps, useful for subtitle generation or content analysis.

Proxy Configuration — optional. Loom works fine without a proxy. Only enable if you're processing a large batch and experiencing rate limits.

❓ FAQ

🎥 Can I download private Loom videos? Only if the share link is publicly accessible. Password-protected videos will return an error with the needsPassword flag so you know why it failed.

📝 Why are some transcripts empty? Not all Loom videos have transcription enabled by the creator. Check the transcriptionStatus field — if it's not "complete", the video hasn't been transcribed on Loom's side.

🌐 Do I need a proxy? Usually not. Loom has generous rate limits. Only enable proxy if you're processing hundreds of videos in a single run and start seeing timeouts.

🔗 What URL formats work? Both /share/ and /embed/ Loom URLs are supported. Example: https://www.loom.com/share/abc123 or https://www.loom.com/embed/abc123.

⏱️ How fast is it? Each video takes about 1-2 seconds to process. A batch of 100 videos typically completes in under 3 minutes.

📦 What output formats are available? Results are available as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the Apify API. You can also set up automatic exports to Google Sheets, Slack, or any webhook.
