## 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.

## Cams.com Downloader Browser Extension

> Save Cams.com live streams and recorded videos as MP4 files without manual stream extraction.

Cams.com Downloader is a browser extension built for viewers who want a direct way to keep live shows and recorded clips available offline. It detects stream sources on supported Cams.com pages, gives you a cleaner download workflow, and saves the final file as MP4 so it is easier to replay later on any device.

- Record active Cams.com live rooms while they are streaming
- Download supported recorded videos from performer pages
- Choose from the stream qualities exposed on the page
- Save playback-ready MP4 files for offline viewing
- Use browser-based controls instead of digging through source files

### Why CamsCom Downloader

Cams.com is optimized for watching in the browser, not for saving content locally. Live rooms end, recorded clips are not presented with a native save flow, and generic downloader extensions often miss protected streams or return unusable results.

Cams.com Downloader is built around that exact workflow. It detects the video on supported Cams.com pages, shows you the available stream options, and gives you a simpler browser-first way to keep videos you already have permission to access.

### Features

- Live room recording for active Cams.com sessions
- Recorded video downloads from supported performer pages
- Quality selection based on the stream variants available
- In-page controls for faster access on supported pages
- Popup interface for starting and managing downloads
- Right-click menu support for a quicker workflow
- MP4 output for easier playback and archiving
- Automatic saving into a dedicated CAMSCOM folder
- Cross-browser support for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex

### How It Works

1. Install the extension from the latest release.
2. Open Cams.com and go to a live room or recorded video page.
3. Start playback so the extension can detect the stream.
4. Open the popup or use the page controls.
5. Choose the quality you want if more than one is available.
6. Record the live session or download the recorded clip.
7. Save the finished MP4 file to your computer.

### Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Videos from Cams.com

1. Install Cams.com Downloader from the latest GitHub release.
2. Visit the Cams.com room or recorded page you want to save from.
3. Sign in first if the content requires account access.
4. Let the player load fully and press play.
5. Click the extension button in your browser toolbar or the on-page control.
6. Review the quality options shown by the extension.
7. For live shows, start the recording and stop it when the session is finished.
8. For recorded clips, click download and wait for the MP4 export to complete.
9. Open the saved file from your Downloads folder.

### Supported Formats

- Input: Cams.com live streams
- Input: Cams.com recorded videos
- Output: MP4

Saved files use MP4 so they are easier to play on phones, desktops, media players, and common editing tools.

### Who It's For

- Cams.com viewers who want to keep live shows before they end
- Users who want offline access to recorded clips
- People archiving content they are permitted to save
- Non-technical users who want a browser extension instead of manual stream tools
- Anyone who wants a faster workflow than inspecting network requests

### Common Use Cases

- Record a live Cams.com show to watch later
- Save a recorded clip from a performer page
- Keep content available before it rotates out or gets removed
- Download the best quality exposed by the source stream
- Build a local archive of content you are allowed to keep

### Troubleshooting

**The extension is not detecting the stream**  
Press play first and wait a few seconds so the stream has time to initialize.

**The page button is missing**  
Open the extension popup directly. Some supported pages work better through the popup UI.

**Only one quality option appears**  
That usually means the page is exposing a single playable stream variant.

**The recording stopped early**  
Check whether the live session ended or your connection dropped during capture.

**The page requires login or paid access**  
The extension only works on videos you can already open and play in your browser session.

### 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

### Installation Instructions

1. Open the latest release page:
   [https://github.com/serpxxx/camscom-downloader/releases/latest](https://github.com/serpxxx/camscom-downloader/releases/latest)
2. Download the extension build for your browser.
3. Install the extension.
4. Open Cams.com and navigate to a live room or recorded video.
5. Use the extension controls to start recording or downloading.

### FAQ

**Can I record live Cams.com streams?**  
Yes. Active live rooms can be recorded while they are streaming.

**Can I download recorded videos too?**  
Yes. The extension supports recorded Cams.com videos on supported pages.

**What file format do downloads use?**  
Videos are saved as MP4 files.

**What quality options are available?**  
That depends on the stream provided by the page. The extension lists whatever variants are exposed.

**Where are videos saved?**  
They are saved to your default Downloads location, typically inside a CAMSCOM subfolder.

**Do I need extra software?**  
No. Everything runs through the browser extension.

This repository is distributed under the proprietary SERP Apps license in the [LICENSE](https://github.com/serpxxx/camscom-downloader/blob/main/LICENSE) file. Review that file before copying, modifying, or redistributing any part of this project.

### Notes

- Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save
- An internet connection is required for live capture and downloads
- Live recording only works while the broadcaster is actively streaming
- Some pages may require account access or paid access
- Source quality depends on the stream exposed by Cams.com

### About Cams.com

Cams.com is a live cam platform centered on performer rooms, live broadcasts, and recorded clips. It works well for streaming inside the site, but it does not provide a clean offline workflow for people who want to keep accessible content locally. Cams.com Downloader simplifies that process in the browser.

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("serpxxx/camscom-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}`);
