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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

If you want to save a video for offline viewing, you are left searching for third-party tools that often come with confusing interfaces, intrusive ads, or security risks. Tube8 Downloader solves this by working directly inside your browser. When you play a video on Tube8, the extension detects the media stream the player is using and presents you with a simple download option. There is no need to copy URLs, visit external websites, or install separate software. The entire process happens within the browser window you already have open. ### Features - Detects video streams during playback on Tube8 video pages - Offers quality selection when the platform exposes multiple resolutions - Saves videos as MP4 files for broad media player compatibility - Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers - Clean popup interface that shows available download options - Sequential download queue for saving multiple videos without conflict - Desktop notifications when a download completes - No external software or account creation required to use the extension ### How It Works 1.
