## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Megatube Downloader is a browser extension built specifically for Megatube .xxx clip pages under the `/videos/<id>/<slug>/` route structure. Instead of relying on generic paste-a-link tools, this extension works directly on the page you're already viewing, detecting media after the embedded player handoff finishes loading. It watches for exposed m3u8 playlists or direct mp4 files and lets you save them locally with a single click.

- Built specifically for Megatube .xxx clip pages, not generic tube site promises
- Detects media through iframe handoff discovery on `/videos/<id>/<slug>/` routes
- Supports both m3u8 and mp4 source detection
- Fast, private, one-click download workflow
- Verified target with honest candidate-stage readiness documentation

### Why Megatube Downloader

Most video downloaders treat every tube site the same way, ignoring the unique page structure and embedded player handoff that Megatube uses. When you visit a Megatube clip page under `/videos/<id>/<slug>/`, the real media source is often hidden behind an iframe relay that generic tools fail to detect. This leaves many users without a reliable way to save videos they want to keep for offline viewing.

Megatube Downloader is built specifically for this scenario. It focuses on the exact page shape used by Megatube .xxx clip pages and waits for the embedded player handoff to finish before attempting media detection. By targeting the iframe relay layer and watching for exposed m3u8 or mp4 sources, it provides a more reliable download path than broad all-site tools. The extension keeps the workflow simple, private, and tied directly to the page you are already viewing.

### Features

- Megatube-specific .xxx product positioning with clip-page matching
- Focus on `/videos/<id>/<slug>/` route structure for precise page targeting
- Iframe-led player handoff detection for accurate media discovery
- Stream hints for both m3u8 playlists and direct mp4 files
- One-click download workflow with popup controls
- Fast and private operation without external server dependencies
- Verified target status with documented candidate-stage readiness
- Honest caveat documentation about stale config surfaces

### How It Works

1. Install the extension from the latest release.
2. Open Megatube and go to a supported video page.
3. Start playback so the extension can detect the media.
4. Open the popup or use the on-page controls.
5. Choose the quality option you want.
6. Start the download and wait for the MP4 export to finish.
7. Save the final file locally.

### Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Videos from Megatube

1. Open your browser and navigate to a Megatube .xxx clip page with a URL matching `/videos/<id>/<slug>/`.
2. Allow the page to fully load, including any embedded iframe player that may be present.
3. Start video playback so the media source becomes exposed through the player handoff.
4. Click the Megatube Downloader icon in your browser toolbar to open the popup.
5. Wait for the extension to detect available media sources on the current page.
6. Review the detected options, which may include m3u8 playlists or direct mp4 files.
7. Select your preferred quality or format option from the available list.
8. Click the download button and save the resulting MP4 file to your local device.

### Supported Formats

- Input: Detected m3u8 playlists or direct mp4 files exposed through iframe handoff on Megatube clip pages
- Output: MP4

Saved files use MP4 so they are easier to replay on standard media players, move between devices, or archive locally.

### Who It's For

- People who regularly visit Megatube .xxx clip pages and want to save videos for offline viewing
- Users who need a site-specific downloader rather than a generic paste-a-link tool
- Anyone who wants to keep local backups of content they own or have permission to save
- Users who prefer private, browser-based downloads without external services

### Common Use Cases

- Saving a favorite Megatube video to watch later without an internet connection
- Archiving personal content you have uploaded or have rights to
- Building a local library of videos for offline study or reference
- Downloading a video to share with others through local file transfer
- Keeping a backup copy of content that may be removed from the platform

### Troubleshooting

**The extension does not detect any media on a Megatube page**
Make sure the video is playing and the page has fully loaded, including any embedded iframe player. Try refreshing the page and starting playback again.

**The download starts but fails partway through**
Check your internet connection and ensure the page remains open during the download. Some large files may take longer to process.

**Only m3u8 playlists appear, not direct mp4 files**
This depends on what the Megatube page exposes through its iframe handoff. M3u8 playlists are common and still produce valid MP4 downloads.

**The popup shows an error message**
Try closing and reopening the popup. If the issue persists, refresh the Megatube page and try again from a fresh page load.

**Downloads are slow or inconsistent**
Download speed depends on your internet connection and the Megatube server response. Try downloading during off-peak hours for better performance.

### FAQ

**What page pattern does this extension work on?**
It is built for Megatube .xxx clip pages under the `/videos/<id>/<slug>/` route structure, which is the primary clip-library format used by the platform.

**Why does the extension need the page to be playing first?**
Megatube uses an embedded iframe player that only exposes the media source after playback begins. The extension waits for this handoff to complete before attempting detection.

**What video formats are supported?**
The extension detects both m3u8 playlists and direct mp4 files. All downloads are saved as MP4 files for broad compatibility.

**Is this extension ready for production use?**
The target is verified and marked as ready for the Megatube domain. However, the current build is documented as a candidate with some stale config surfaces, so features may evolve in future releases.

**Does the extension work on other tube sites?**
No. This extension is specifically built for Megatube .xxx clip pages and may not function correctly on other domains.

- Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save
- An internet connection is required for downloads
