## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Clapdat Video Downloader | How to Download Clapdat Videos

Grab a Clapdat video from the very tab it's playing in, with no detour.

Open the extension while a Clapdat page is on screen and it locates the video itself. Nothing interrupts your viewing, and the save begins from the tab you already have open.

### Preview

![Clapdat Video Downloader](https://apps.serp.co/media/optimized-products/clapdat-downloader-ready-state-ce4444a92d.webp)

### How It Works

1. **Load the page**: Visit the Clapdat page that holds the video you're after and give it a moment to load as usual.
2. **Let it find the video**: Click the extension icon. It looks for a usable video source on that page and offers a download choice.
3. **Pick and save**: Open the format menu, select one of the listed file options, and the finished video is saved to your device.

### What It Does

- Keep Clapdat videos on your device so you can watch them offline whenever it suits you.
- Start a save with the download button placed on the video page itself.
- Or click the toolbar popup of the extension if you prefer starting there.
- Works on one video per run, which keeps what you save tidy.
- Hands the file to the browser's own download manager, a tool you already know.
- Follow how the download is going in the browser's standard downloads panel.

### Clapdat Video Downloader vs. Online Downloader Website

Files land in a Clapdat folder through the browser's own download manager, and you can see progress throughout.

| Clapdat Video Downloader | Online Downloader Website |
| --- | --- |
| Puts the MP4 in its own Clapdat folder on your device | Generic names, often dumped in a single crowded downloads folder |
| Progress appears right in the browser's download list | Progress relies on keeping the other site's page open |
| The finished MP4 plays in whichever video player you normally use | Video and audio may come packaged in unexpected formats |
| Videos stay local, so you can rewatch them at any time | You might need to go back to a results page to fetch the file |
| Relies on the download system built into your browser | A download flow that differs from one site to the next |

### Compatibility

**Browsers:** Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, Whale, Yandex

**Works With:**

- Video pages on Clapdat
- Desktop browsers that support extensions
- Videos your current browser session can access
- Pages exposing a usable video source
- Windows, Mac and Linux desktops

**Not Designed For:**

- Mobile browsers
- Safari
- Streams protected by DRM or encryption
- Videos that were removed or are unavailable
- Bulk crawling or scraping galleries
- Getting around private, paid, regional or age-gated restrictions

### FAQ

**What's the way to begin saving a Clapdat video?**
Visit the video's page on Clapdat and press the download button shown there. The extension spots the video and starts saving it from the tab you're in.

**Does the toolbar icon also start downloads?**
Yes. While you're on a Clapdat page, click the extension in your toolbar to open its popup, which finds the video and lets you begin the download there.

**Is it possible to save several videos simultaneously?**
One at a time. That limit keeps your downloads orderly and ties each file to the Clapdat page currently open.

**Where will I find the files afterwards?**
They go into a Clapdat folder by way of the browser's built-in download manager, and you'll find them there once the download is done.

### Know Before You Use It

- The page has to offer a video source that can be saved
- You need to be able to watch the video in your browser already
- You may have to start playback before the extension can spot the active source
- Available quality settings are whatever the player or host supplies

> Only download videos you own or have permission to save.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pornvidsdownload/clapdat-downloader").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("pornvidsdownload/clapdat-downloader").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call pornvidsdownload/clapdat-downloader --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pornvidsdownload/clapdat-downloader"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
