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.

It targets AL4A's short domain, `.html` video detail pages, and a clean single-site match set. Open a supported video page, let the page expose playable media, then use the player button or extension controls to download detected options. - Focused AL4A support without a copy/paste downloader site - In-page player button attached near the video surface - Detection of direct video and HLS-style media candidates - Saves through an AL4A offscreen download pipeline - Three-pattern site match set covering AL4A root, subdomains, and www ### Table of Contents - [Why Al4a Downloader](#why-al4a-downloader) - [Features](#features) - [How It Works](#how-it-works) - [Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Videos from Al4a](#step-by-step-tutorial-how-to-download-videos-from-al4a) - [Supported Formats](#supported-formats) - [Who It's For](#who-its-for) - [Common Use Cases](#common-use-cases) - [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) - [Trial & Access](#trial--access) - [Installation Instructions](#installation-instructions) - [FAQ](#faq) - [Notes](#notes) - [License](#license) - [About Al4a](#about-al4a) ### Why Al4a Downloader Downloading videos from Al4a pages often means using third-party sites that require copying and pasting URLs, dealing with pop-up ads, or trusting unknown services with your browsing data. These workarounds are slow, interrupt your viewing experience, and offer no guarantee the download will actually work with Al4a's media delivery. Al4a Downloader keeps everything inside your browser. There is no need to leave the page, copy links, or visit external download sites. The extension detects playable media directly on supported Al4a video detail pages and provides a download button near the player surface. This focused approach means fewer permissions, a simpler workflow, and a tool built specifically for Al4a's page structure. ### Features - Purpose-built for Al4a video detail pages ending in `.html` - In-page download button attached to the Al4a player surface - Detection of video sources from tags, metadata, and stream fields - Popup interface for selecting detected media options - Offscreen download pipeline with HLS concat support - Three-pattern site match set covering root, subdomains, and www - Configurable download folder organized under AL4A - Transparent status as a target-ready candidate pending extraction QA ### How It Works 1. Install the extension from the latest release. 2. Open Al4a 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 Al4a 1. Install Al4a Downloader from the GitHub Releases page. 2. Navigate to any Al4a video detail page that ends in `.html`. 3. Allow the page to load fully and start video playback if needed. 4. Look for the download button that appears near the video player. 5. Click the download button or open the extension popup. 6. Review the detected media options displayed in the interface. 7. Select your preferred quality and click the download action. 8. Wait for the offscreen pipeline to process and save the file to your AL4A folder. ### Supported Formats - Input: Direct video URLs from video and source tags, Open Graph video fields, Twitter stream metadata, and HLS-style playlists exposed on Al4a video 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 - Al4a viewers who want a straightforward browser-based saving workflow - Users who prefer not to copy and paste URLs into external download sites - Anyone looking for a focused downloader scoped to a single platform - Users who want a player-level download button rather than a separate tool ### Common Use Cases - Save an Al4a video page for offline viewing without an internet connection - Build a local archive of content you have rights to download - Avoid buffering issues by storing videos locally for replay - Keep downloads organized in a dedicated AL4A folder structure - Use the player button workflow for a more natural saving experience ### Troubleshooting **The download button does not appear on the page.** Make sure you are on a supported Al4a video detail page ending in `.html` and that the page has fully loaded. **No media options are detected.** Try starting video playback first, as some media is only exposed after player activity. **The download fails or produces a broken file.** Check your internet connection and try again. If the issue persists, the media may be delivered in a format the extension cannot process. **The extension does not work on the Al4a homepage.** Al4a Downloader is designed for video detail pages only, not the main site or category listings. **I see an error about permissions.** Ensure the extension has the necessary permissions granted during installation for AL4A domains. ### Trial & Access - Includes **3 free downloads** so you can test the workflow first - Email sign-in uses secure one-time password verification - No credit card required for the trial - Unlimited downloads are available with a paid license Start here: [https://serp.ly/al4a-downloader](https://serp.ly/al4a-downloader) ### Installation Instructions 1.

Open a supported Al4a page. 5. Use the popup to detect and download the media. ### FAQ **Is Al4a Downloader released?** The extension is available through GitHub Releases. It is a target-ready candidate that has passed solid handoff verification. **What pages does it target?** Al4a video detail pages ending in `.html`, including root, subdomain, and www.al4a.com patterns. **What media does it look for?** The extension checks video and source tags, Open Graph video fields, Twitter stream metadata, and poster images. **Is this a broad downloader that works on any site?** No. Al4a Downloader is scoped specifically to AL4A domains and their video page structure. **What needs to happen before full release?** Real extraction QA on live Al4a pages is needed to confirm reliable downloads beyond the generated stubs. ### Notes - Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save - An internet connection is required for downloads - Al4a Downloader is a focused tool for Al4a video pages only - The extension is transparent about its candidate status and pending QA ### License This repository is distributed under the proprietary SERP Apps license in the [LICENSE](https://github.com/serpcompany/al4a-downloader/blob/main/LICENSE) file.
