## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## Erome Bulk Video Downloader

Extract direct video URLs, metadata, thumbnails, and available formats from Erome video pages at scale.

### What this Erome downloader does

Erome Bulk Video Downloader turns a list of Erome video URLs into structured results you can use in automations, research workflows, content archives, QA checks, and internal media tools. Instead of clicking through pages one at a time or relying on a browser extension, submit URLs to an Apify Actor run and receive clean dataset rows with the source page, canonical URL, title, thumbnail, available media formats, selected format, and a fresh direct video URL when extraction succeeds.

The default mode is designed to be fast and cost-efficient: it extracts fresh media URLs and metadata without downloading large files. If you need Apify-hosted file output, enable `downloadFiles=true` to store the selected video in the run key-value store.

### Key features

- Bulk input: process one URL or a list of Erome video URLs in a single run.
- Direct media URL extraction: returns the selected playable video URL when available.
- Metadata output: captures title, description when available, duration, thumbnail, canonical URL, and source URL.
- Format discovery: returns available MP4, HLS, and other playable formats when the source exposes them.
- Quality selection: use `preferredQuality` to request best, HD, SD, or another supported quality label.
- Optional file storage: set `downloadFiles=true` only when you want the selected video saved to Apify key-value storage.
- Automation-ready output: results are written to the default dataset as structured JSON rows.
- Proxy support: enable `useApifyProxy` when the run needs Apify cloud proxy routing.

### Common use cases

- Build a private archive workflow for a list of Erome URLs.
- Collect video metadata and thumbnails for cataloging or QA.
- Resolve fresh direct media URLs for downstream processing.
- Monitor whether saved Erome URLs still expose playable media.
- Power internal tools that need structured video extraction instead of manual browser work.
- Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS for other systems.

### Input

Provide one or more video URLs through the `urls` array or paste them into `urlText` with one URL per line.

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.example.com/video/sample"
  ],
  "maxItems": 2,
  "preferredQuality": "best",
  "downloadFiles": false,
  "createZip": false,
  "useApifyProxy": false
}
````

Important input options:

- `urls`: array of Erome video URLs to process.
- `urlText`: newline-separated URLs, useful for copy/paste batches.
- `maxItems`: maximum number of inputs to process in this run.
- `preferredQuality`: choose the best available format or a supported quality label.
- `downloadFiles`: keep this `false` for metadata/direct-URL extraction; set to `true` only when you need files stored in Apify.
- `createZip`: optional ZIP convenience flag when file storage is supported for the selected run.
- `useApifyProxy`: route extraction through Apify Proxy when needed.

### Output

Each processed URL produces a dataset row similar to:

```json
{
  "inputUrl": "https://www.example.com/video/sample",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.example.com/video/sample",
  "canonicalUrl": "https://www.example.com/video/sample",
  "id": "sample-id",
  "title": "Example video title",
  "description": null,
  "duration": "00:03:21",
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 720,
  "tags": [],
  "thumbnailUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/thumb.jpg",
  "availableFormats": [],
  "selectedFormat": {
    "quality": "best",
    "type": "video/mp4"
  },
  "directVideoUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/video.mp4",
  "status": "ok",
  "errorMessage": null
}
```

When `downloadFiles=true`, successful rows may also include:

- `storedFileKey`
- `storedFileUrl`
- `fileSizeBytes`
- `zipFileKey`
- `zipFileUrl`
- `zipFileSizeBytes`

### How to use

1. Open the actor input tab.
2. Paste one or more Erome video URLs.
3. Leave `downloadFiles=false` for the fastest API-style run.
4. Start the actor.
5. Export results from the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.
6. Use `directVideoUrl`, `thumbnailUrl`, and metadata fields in your downstream workflow.

### Browser extension alternative

If you only need a simple browser-based downloader for occasional manual saves, use the SERP browser extension flow instead:

https://serp.ly/erome-bulk-video-downloader

This Apify Actor is better for bulk jobs, repeatable workflows, scheduled runs, integrations, and structured output.

### Notes and limitations

- Direct media URLs can expire. Run the actor when you need fresh URLs.
- Some videos may be unavailable, removed, private, geo-restricted, or blocked by the source site.
- Large file downloads can increase run time, bandwidth, and storage usage; keep `downloadFiles=false` unless storage is required.
- Respect the source site's terms and applicable laws. Only process content you have the right to access and use.

### FAQ

#### Can I download multiple Erome videos at once?

Yes. Add multiple URLs to the `urls` array or paste one URL per line into `urlText`.

#### Does the actor download files by default?

No. Default runs return fresh direct media URLs and metadata. Set `downloadFiles=true` only when you need the selected video stored in Apify key-value storage.

#### Can I use the results through the Apify API?

Yes. Run the actor through the Apify API and read structured results from the default dataset.

#### Why did a URL fail?

The source page may be unavailable, private, geo-restricted, protected, removed, or temporarily returning a format that cannot be resolved. Failed rows include `status="error"` and an `errorMessage` when available.

# Actor input Schema
