Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

This **9GAG media downloader** helps you download 9GAG videos, save 9GAG images, and build datasets from 9GAG posts with less busywork—so you can process thousands of records in minutes. --- ### What You Get: Sample Output Here's a sample record from a single run: ```json { "url": "https://9gag.com/gag/aND4YA4", "result": { "url": "https://9gag.com/gag/aND4YA4", "source": "ninegag", "title": "Example 9GAG Post Title", "thumbnail": "http://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/12345_ogimage.jpg", "medias": [ { "url": "https://example.com/path/to/media.mp4", "quality": "HD", "extension": "mp4", "type": "video" } ], "type": "single", "error": false, "time_end": 842 } } ```` | Field | Type | What It Tells You | |---|---|---| | `url` | string | The input 9GAG post URL associated with this result | | `result.url` | string | The same post URL returned as the record source | | `result.source` | string | Confirms the data source as `ninegag` | | `result.title` | string | The post title you can use for labeling or categorization | | `result.thumbnail` | string | A thumbnail image URL for quick previews | | `result.medias` | array | The downloadable media items found on the post | | `result.medias[].url` | string | Direct media URL you can save to use later | | `result.medias[].quality` | string | Media quality label returned by the actor (e.g., `HD`) | | `result.medias[].extension` | string | File type/extension (for images it matches the image URL suffix) | | `result.medias[].type` | string | Whether the media is `video` or `image` | | `result.type` | string | Always returned as `single` for each processed post | | `result.error` | boolean | Whether the actor encountered an error for this specific post | | `result.error_message` | string | Error details when something fails (or the actor exception message) | | `result.time_end` | number | Processing time in milliseconds for this post | Export your dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel — straight from the Apify dashboard. *** ### Why 9GAG Media Downloader 📥? There are a lot of ways to pull data from 9GAG—here's what sets **9GAG Media Downloader 📥** apart. #### Built for “media download” workflows If you’re looking to **download 9GAG videos**, save **9GAG GIF downloader**-style media, or gather **9GAG image downloader** outputs, this actor returns a structured `medias` list with direct URLs, quality, extension, and media type. #### Clean, structured output per post Each 9GAG link you provide becomes one result object with consistent keys (`title`, `thumbnail`, and `medias`). That makes **9GAG post downloader** use cases easier to plug into analysis, tagging, or downstream automation. #### Resilient per-link error handling If a specific post can’t be processed, the actor still returns a record with `error: true` and an `error_message`, so you can keep going through mixed-quality inputs instead of losing your whole batch. #### Built for bulk link processing You submit a list of 9GAG post URLs, and the actor processes them and writes results as it goes—handy when you want **best 9GAG downloader** results across many posts, not just one-off saves. *** ### Configuring Your Run Drop this into your `input.json` to get started: ```json { "links": [ "https://9gag.com/gag/aND4YA4", "https://9gag.com/gag/anotherExampleId" ] } ``` | Parameter | Required | What It Does | |---|---|---| | `links` | ✅ | List of 9GAG post URLs to process (each item becomes one output record) | *** ### Core Capabilities #### Bulk post URL intake Provide your 9GAG links in the `links` array, and the actor returns a separate result object for each post. This is perfect for workflows like building a **9GAG reels downloader**-style media catalog or running a **9GAG post downloader** job across campaigns. #### Video and image media extraction The actor collects downloadable media details for posts categorized as `Animated` or `Video` (returned as `type: "video"` with `extension: "mp4"`), and image-based posts (returned as `type: "image"` with the image URL-derived `extension`). #### Thumbnail + metadata included Alongside media URLs, each record includes `title` and a `thumbnail` URL so you can preview content quickly. That makes it easier to organize **9GAG media save** outputs without additional lookups. #### Per-post processing time and error visibility Each result includes `time_end` (milliseconds) and reports failures via `error: true` and `error_message`. This helps analysts measure throughput and troubleshoot problematic links. #### Ready for automation and dataset export Because outputs are written as structured JSON records, **9GAG media downloader** results are straightforward to export from Apify and feed into your pipeline—ideal when you’re building repeatable media datasets (e.g., **save 9GAG videos offline** catalogs). *** ### Who Gets the Most Out of This **Marketing and Brand Teams** — Use 9GAG Media Downloader 📥 to quickly compile media from a list of posts, so creative teams can shortlist assets and speed up campaign ideation. **Content Ops and Community Managers** — When you need a **9GAG image downloader** or **9GAG post downloader** workflow for reposting candidates, you can turn URLs into organized `title`, `thumbnail`, and `medias` records without manual downloading. **Sales and Partnerships Researchers** — Build a structured archive of content references across many links, so your team can reference media when prepping outreach or partner proposals. **Data Analysts and Researchers** — Run the actor on a curated dataset of 9GAG URLs and analyze extracted media metadata (types, extensions, processing time) using exports from Apify. **Developers and Automation Specialists** — Trigger the actor with a list of post URLs and consume the resulting dataset programmatically, making **download 9GAG videos** and media collection repeatable. *** ### Step-by-Step: How to Use It No coding needed.
