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). # README ## Redgifs Downloader > Download Redgifs clips and short videos as MP4 files from supported pages. ![Redgifs Downloader](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serpxxx/redgifs-downloader/main/assets/workflow-preview.webp) Redgifs Downloader is a browser extension for users who want a faster way to save Redgifs clips without relying on screen recordings or page-inspection tricks. It detects supported Redgifs media from watch pages and feed cards, then lets you export the result as MP4 for offline viewing. - Save Redgifs clips and short videos for offline playback - Detect supported media from watch pages and feed views - Export MP4 files for broader compatibility than looping embeds - Keep the workflow simple and browser-based - Avoid losing access when posts are removed later ### Get it Here Get it here: https://serp.ly/redgifs-downloader ### Table of Contents - [Why Redgifs Downloader](#why-redgifs-downloader) - [Features](#features) - [How It Works](#how-it-works) - [Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Videos from Redgifs](#step-by-step-tutorial-how-to-download-videos-from-redgifs) - [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) - [License](#license) - [Notes](#notes) - [About Redgifs](#about-redgifs) ### Why Redgifs Downloader Redgifs is optimized for fast looping playback and feed browsing, not for giving users a clean save workflow. Generic extensions can miss the actual clip source, especially when navigation happens without a full page reload or when the media is loaded lazily in the feed. Redgifs Downloader is built for that browsing pattern. It can detect supported clips from active pages, then export them as MP4 files so they are easier to keep, replay, and organize offline. ### Features - Detects supported Redgifs clips from watch pages and feed cards - Handles short-form video workflows more cleanly than generic tools - In-page download button built into the video player - Feed page scanning to detect multiple videos on browse and search pages - Converts HLS streams to downloadable MP4 files in-browser - Right-click context menu for a faster download flow - Real-time progress tracking with download speed and file size - Desktop notifications when downloads complete - Auto-saves to an organized REDGIFS subfolder in Downloads - 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 a Redgifs watch page or feed item and start playback. 3. Let the extension detect the active media source. 4. Open the popup or use the in-page download button. 5. Choose the quality or stream option you want. 6. Start the download and wait for the MP4 export to finish. 7. Save the final MP4 file locally. ### Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Videos from Redgifs 1. Install Redgifs Downloader from the latest GitHub release. 2. Open Redgifs and sign in if the page requires account access. 3. Navigate to the clip or feed page you want to save from. 4. Let the player load fully and start playback. 5. Click the in-page download button or open the extension popup. 6. Review the quality options shown by the extension. 7. Choose the resolution you want if more than one option is available. 8. Start the download and wait for the MP4 export to finish. 9. Open the saved clip from your Downloads folder. ### Supported Formats - Input: supported Redgifs clips and short video sources - Input: Redgifs HLS streams - Output: MP4 Saved files use MP4 so they are easier to replay on standard media players, transfer between devices, or archive for later access. ### Who It's For - Redgifs users who want offline copies of supported clips - People archiving short-form media for later reference - Users who want a browser extension instead of manual extraction - Anyone who wants a cleaner way to save looping clips as normal video files - Users browsing feed pages who want to download multiple clips in one session ### Common Use Cases - Save a Redgifs clip before it disappears - Convert a looping clip into a normal MP4 file - Keep a personal offline library of supported clips - Avoid screen recording for short-form media - Download multiple clips from feed and search pages ### Troubleshooting **The extension does not detect the clip** Start playback first and wait for the active media source to load. **The feed changed without a full reload** Open the popup again after navigation so the extension can rescan the active page state. **The download option is missing** Refresh the page and retry after the clip starts playing again. **The download stopped or failed partway through** Check whether your internet connection dropped during the export. Retry the download from the popup. **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 Start here: [https://serp.ly/redgifs-downloader](https://serp.ly/redgifs-downloader) ### Installation Instructions 1. Open the latest release page: [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/serpxxx/redgifs-downloader/releases/latest) 2. Download the correct build for your browser. 3. Install the extension. 4. Open a Redgifs page or clip. 5. Use the popup to detect and download the media. ### FAQ **Can it save Redgifs clips as MP4?** Yes. Supported clips are exported as MP4 files. **Does it work only on watch pages?** It supports watch pages and supported feed-style views where the media can be detected. **Can I download from feed pages?** Yes. The extension scans feed and search pages, detecting multiple videos for download. **Do I need extra software?** No. The workflow is handled entirely in the browser extension. **Where are clips saved?** They are saved to your default Downloads location, typically inside a REDGIFS subfolder. **What browsers are supported?** Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex. ### License This repository is distributed under the proprietary SERP Apps license in the [LICENSE](https://github.com/serpxxx/redgifs-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 downloads - Quality depends on the source and what the page exposes - Redgifs uses API-based authentication for streams, which the extension handles automatically - Some clips may only be available while the original post remains accessible ### About Redgifs Redgifs is a short-form looping media platform built around quick playback and feed browsing. Redgifs Downloader is designed to make supported downloads easier for users who already have access to those clips in the browser. # Actor input Schema ## Actor input object example ```json {} ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
