Pornhub Video Intelligence Scraper 🚀

Turn public Pornhub video links into clean, structured intelligence — ready for research, trend tracking, content analysis, or AI workflows. Paste links, click Start, and get a complete dataset back. No scraping setup required. ✨

What you get 🎯

Each video link produces one easy-to-use record with as much public information as is available:

• ⬇️ Video source access — a primary M3U8 playlist URL, plus every publicly available quality and format exposed by the player.
• 🎬 Video essentials — title, description, duration, publish date, thumbnail, views, likes, tags, categories, and languages.
• 👤 Model profile — public name, profile link, avatar, verification status, video count, and subscribers when shown on the page.
• 💬 Audience signals — public comments, authors, dates, and visible upvotes.
• 📈 Engagement intelligence — the full normalized heat curve, Top 5 moments, and the highest-interest time range in whole seconds.
• 📚 Playlist discovery — public playlists that contain the video, including playlist links and video counts.

If a field is not visible on a page, it is returned as null or an empty list. You still receive every other field that could be collected. ✅

Video sources are player-provided URLs at the time of collection. They can expire, so use them promptly.

🎬 Working with video sources

video_download contains the primary M3U8 playlist available when the page is collected. To save a complete video as an MP4 file, process that playlist with a media tool such as ffmpeg.

playbackSources retains every player-exposed source, including alternate resolutions and MP4 formats. These links often use temporary signatures, so their availability and lifetime can depend on the page, CDN, and network environment.

Start in 3 steps ⚡

1. Paste one or more public Pornhub video-page links into Video links to analyze.
2. Leave the defaults as they are — they are the recommended settings for most jobs.
3. Click Start and open the Dataset when the run finishes.

That’s it. One submitted link creates one result record.

Input guide 🧭

Only one input is required: a public video URL.

{
    "videoUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=YOUR_VIEWKEY" }]
}

Optional settings:

• Comments per video — defaults to 100. Set 0 when you do not need comments and want a faster run.
• Speed setting — leave it at 1 for the most reliable collection. Use 2 or 3 only when you are processing multiple links.

Built for insight, not just raw HTML 💡

Use the results to:

• compare videos and identify high-interest moments;
• research public model and playlist relationships;
• analyze audience feedback and visible engagement;
• feed consistent records into spreadsheets, dashboards, databases, or AI agents.
