## 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`).

## Fluid Player Video Downloader | How to Download Fluid Player Videos

Save a Fluid Player video from the very tab where it's playing, with no link-copying and no third-party site in the loop.

Load your video, and the extension handles the rest from inside that tab by searching the page for a source worth saving. Copying URLs or visiting a second website never comes into it.

### Preview

### How It Works

1. **Open the Fluid Player page**: Navigate to the page with the video you want to keep and allow it to load the way it normally would.
2. **Let the extension look**: Start the extension. It checks the page for a video source it can save and lists a download option for it.
3. **Select a format and save**: Pick one of the file options from the format menu, and the completed video lands on your device.

### What It Does

- Keeps Fluid Player videos available offline, straight from the page you have open.
- Starts saving from the button over the video you're watching, or from the toolbar popup if you prefer that.
- Takes one video per download, so you can easily follow what's happening.
- Hands the save to your browser's usual download machinery, and its panel shows the progress.
- Stores MP4 files from the site as MP4, with no conversion step, in a Fluidplayer folder.
- Opens finished files in any compatible player.

### Fluid Player Downloader vs. Online Downloader Website

On one side, an MP4 saved locally in a folder of its own; on the other, results that depend entirely on how a website processes your request.

| Fluid Player Downloader | Online Downloader Website |
| --- | --- |
| A Fluidplayer folder holds every saved file | Expect filenames the website chose, which may be generic or changed |
| The file remains an MP4 from start to finish | Websites sometimes switch the format or lower the quality |
| Any compatible player opens the finished MP4 | Another format might need converting before it plays |
| Videos sit on your own device, ready for later | A web service may leave you without a copy on your machine |
| Takes MP4 video from the Fluid Player page itself | Results differ according to how the site handles processing |

### Compatibility

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

**Suitable for:**

- Open pages built on Fluid Player that expose video options
- Anything your current browser session is already able to reach
- Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Whale and Yandex
- Computers on macOS, Windows or Linux

**Outside the scope:**

- Safari, along with every mobile browser
- Streams that are protected, whether by DRM encryption or another method
- Working around sign-ins, paywalls, age gates, region limits or site permissions
- Videos that were removed, are private, can't be reached, or never get exposed to the browser
- A guarantee that each site using Fluid Player will be saveable

### FAQ

**What starts the download of a Fluid Player video?**
Wait for the page to load, then use the download button on the video itself or the popup under the extension's toolbar icon.

**Which folder will I find my files in?**
Every file goes into a Fluidplayer folder located under the standard downloads location of your browser.

**Can several videos be downloaded together?**
No. Only one video is processed at a time, so let the running download finish before beginning another.

**Will the files be MP4?**
They will, provided the site itself offers MP4. No conversion happens along the way, so the saved file keeps that format.

### Know Before You Use It

- Hosting isn't something Fluid Player does: it's a library for building players, so the media comes from the individual sites that use it
- The page you have open needs to make a saveable video source reachable by your browser
- Saving only works for media you're already able to watch in your current session
- Seeing a Fluid Player embed on a page tells you nothing about whether its media can be saved

> 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/fluidplayer-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);
});

## Python example

```python
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/fluidplayer-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/fluidplayer-downloader --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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