## 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.

MyFreeCams Downloader is a browser extension for users who want to save supported MyFreeCams streams without wiring together screen recorders or generic downloader tools. It detects active media in your browser session, lets you capture live rooms or supported recordings, and exports finished downloads as MP4 for easier playback later.

- Record supported MyFreeCams live streams while the room is online
- Download supported recorded videos from profile pages
- Choose from the stream qualities exposed on the page
- Save finished files as standard MP4
- Use in-page controls, popup controls, or right-click actions

### Why MyFreeCams Downloader

MyFreeCams is a live-first platform, which means the most important content is time-sensitive. Generic downloaders often miss the active media, and standard video-saving tricks do not help when the stream is being delivered dynamically in the browser.

MyFreeCams Downloader is built around that problem. It focuses on supported MyFreeCams pages, detects the available stream in your browser session, and gives you a more direct way to keep accessible content as MP4 without leaving the browser.

### Features

- Live stream recording for supported MyFreeCams rooms
- Supported recorded video downloads from profile pages
- Quality selection for available stream variants
- In-page controls on supported pages
- Popup workflow for starting and managing captures
- Right-click access for a faster recording flow
- MP4 output for easier playback and transfer
- Automatic saving into a dedicated MYFREECAMS 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 MyFreeCams and go to a supported live room or recording 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 or stream option you want.
6. Record the live room or download the recording.
7. Save the final MP4 file locally.

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

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

### Supported Formats

- Input: Supported MyFreeCams live streams
- Input: Supported MyFreeCams recordings
- 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

- MyFreeCams viewers who want to keep supported live rooms before they end
- Users who want offline access to supported recordings they can already watch
- People archiving content they are permitted to keep
- Anyone who wants a browser-based workflow instead of external capture software
- Users who want cleaner controls than generic downloader sites

### Common Use Cases

- Record a supported MyFreeCams live room to watch later
- Download a supported recording from a profile page
- Keep local copies of content before it disappears from easy access
- Download the best quality exposed by the page
- Start a recording directly from the player or extension popup

### 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 control is missing**  
Open the extension popup directly. Some supported pages work better through the popup UI.

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

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

**The page requires account access**  
The extension only works on media you can already open and play in your active 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/myfreecams-downloader/releases/latest](https://github.com/serpxxx/myfreecams-downloader/releases/latest)
2. Download the extension build for your browser.
3. Install the extension.
4. Open MyFreeCams and navigate to a supported room or recording page.
5. Use the extension controls to start recording or downloading.

### FAQ

**Can I record MyFreeCams live streams?**  
Yes. Supported MyFreeCams live rooms can be recorded while they are active.

**Can I download recordings too?**  
Yes. The extension supports supported recorded media on eligible pages.

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

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

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

### 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 creator is actively streaming
- Some pages may require account access, paid access, or membership
- Source quality depends on the media exposed by MyFreeCams

### License

This repository includes an MIT license in [LICENSE.md](https://github.com/serpxxx/myfreecams-downloader/blob/main/LICENSE.md).

### About MyFreeCams

MyFreeCams focuses heavily on live rooms, which makes offline access more awkward than on ordinary video sites. MyFreeCams Downloader simplifies that workflow for users who already have legitimate access to supported content and want to keep an MP4 copy for later playback.

# Actor input Schema

## `listingNotice` (type: `string`):

Optional informational field only. This actor currently serves as the public listing surface for the browser extension and does not yet expose a finalized runtime API contract.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "listingNotice": "No runtime input is required yet. See the README and product page for the current extension workflow."
}
````

# 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("serpxxx/myfreecams-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) => {
