## 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`).

## CamStreams Video Downloader | How to Download CamStreams Videos

Keep any CamStreams video you're watching, straight from the tab that's already open.

Say you're watching a CamStreams video and want to keep it. Skip the tab juggling and link copying: let the page load as usual and the extension takes it from there. After the player loads, it examines the active video page and assembles source choices from the media details the page exposes.

### Get it Here

👉 Get it here: [CamStreams Video Downloader](https://serp.ly/camstreams-downloader?via=apify)

- ✅ Nothing you download is routed through our servers
- ✅ No advertising, tracking or analytics
- ✅ Supports Windows, Mac and Linux
- ✅ Email help from the people who made it

### Preview

![CamStreams Video Downloader](https://apps.serp.co/media/optimized-products/camstreams-downloader-ready-state-77f97cc226.webp)

### How It Works

1. **Browse to CamStreams**: Navigate to the CamStreams page holding the video you want and let the browser load it normally.
2. **Let it spot the source**: Open the extension. It searches for the video source and lists a download option for the page.
3. **Pick and download**: Choose a file option from the format menu and the finished video is saved onto your device.

### What It Does

- Copies content from CamStreams onto your own computer.
- Uses the dedicated button on the current recording's page to get going.
- Also reachable via the extension's toolbar popup.
- Handles a single video per download, which keeps things simple.
- Saves through the normal download system built into your browser.
- Shows every download's progress in the browser's download list.

### CamStreams Video Downloader vs. Online Video Downloader Website

The extension picks up the video you're watching, whereas a CamStreams link pasted into another site can overlook the embedded player.

| CamStreams Video Downloader | Online Video Downloader Website |
| --- | --- |
| Finds the video that's open in your browser right now. | Might not recognize the embedded player from a page address only. |
| Keeps the MP4 file in its original MP4 format. | Certain sites give only converted or restricted format options. |
| Saves into a dedicated Camstreams folder on your device. | Generic filenames make the file tougher to find afterward. |
| Progress shows up in the browser's download list. | Updates mean going back to the outside site's progress page. |
| Works as you remain on the CamStreams video page. | You leave the watch page and copy its link somewhere else. |

### Compatibility

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

**Compatible With:**

- CamStreams video pages
- Desktop browsers that support extensions
- Videos your current browser session can access
- Pages with a usable video source
- Windows, macOS and Linux

**Outside Its Scope:**

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

### FAQ

**How can I download a video?**
Open the CamStreams page containing your video, wait for it to load, then press the dedicated download button there or open the extension's toolbar popup.

**Which format are videos saved in?**
MP4. The site's original format is retained, and nothing is converted along the way.

**Where do saved videos go?**
Into a dedicated Camstreams folder on your computer, via your browser's standard download system.

**Are simultaneous downloads possible?**
No. The extension takes one video at a time so the focus stays on the current page.

### Know Before You Use It

- The page you're on must offer a video that can be saved
- Your browser needs to be able to show you the video already
- Playback might have to start before the active source is picked up
- The player or host decides which quality options exist

> 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("serpdownloaders/camstreams-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);
});

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# 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("serpdownloaders/camstreams-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():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call serpdownloaders/camstreams-downloader --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,serpdownloaders/camstreams-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).
