## What's an Apify Actor?
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.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## Pornhub Video Metadata & Search Scraper
> Extract public Pornhub video metadata from search, category, pornstar, model and channel pages, with exact views, likes, duration, tags and upload dates.
17 fields per record
Global coverage
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
Updated 2026-07-04
### What you get
Each record describes one public video exactly as Pornhub lists it, so you can build datasets for trend analysis, tag research, creator tracking or content moderation. This scraper only reads public listing and video pages. It never downloads video files and never bypasses login walls.
- **thumbnail**: preview image URL of the video
- **title**: video title
- **url**: canonical video page URL
- **viewkey**: Pornhub video identifier
- **durationSeconds**: video length in seconds
- **views**: view count (exact when details are enabled)
- **previewVideoUrl**: short animated preview clip URL
- **uploader**: name of the account that posted the video
- **uploaderUrl**: link to the uploader page
- **uploaderType**: model, pornstar, channel or user
- **uploadedAt\***: exact upload date in ISO 8601
- **description\***: video description text
- **likes\***: number of likes (up votes)
- **categories\***: list of categories the video is filed under
- **tags\***: list of tags applied to the video
- **observedAt**: when this video was last seen by the scraper
*\*These fields only appear when Fetch video details is set to true.*
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Tag and category trend research | Content strategists and SEO teams |
| Creator and channel tracking | Talent managers and agencies |
| Market and popularity analysis | Data analysts and researchers |
| Content moderation datasets | Trust and safety teams |
| Catalog and recommendation building | Product and data engineers |
### Frequently Asked Questions
**What Pornhub pages can this scraper read?**
It reads public listing pages: keyword search, category browse, and pornstar, model or channel video pages. It follows into each public video page to collect exact views, likes, upload date, description, categories and tags.
**How many videos can it return in one run?**
Set Max Items to any number. The scraper paginates through the listing automatically until it reaches your limit or the results run out. Ten videos per page is the site default.
**Can I filter or sort the results?**
Yes. Pick one source (search query, category, pornstar, model or channel) and choose a sort order: relevance, most recent, most viewed, top rated or longest.
**Why does it need a proxy?**
Pornhub geo restricts and rate limits datacenter IP addresses, so a residential proxy is required for reliable results. The default configuration uses Apify residential proxies and rotates sessions automatically.
**Does it download videos or bypass any age wall?**
No. It only collects public text and image metadata that the site shows on its listing and video pages. It does not download media files and does not bypass account or paid walls.
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).

Keyword to search public videos for, for example "yoga" or "gaming". Leave empty to use a category, pornstar, model or channel instead.
## `category` (type: `string`):

## `pornstar` (type: `string`):
Public pornstar page slug from the URL, for example "riley-reid" from pornhub.com/pornstar/riley-reid. Ignored when a search query or category is set.
