Kuku TV & Kuku FM Episode Details & Video URL API

Kuku TV and Kuku FM episode details and video URL API

Kuku TV & Kuku FM Episode Details & Video URL API is a Kuku TV episode scraper for Kuku FM audio series and short-drama reels. Submit up to 1,000 episode IDs and receive structured episode metadata plus the playable video stream URL for each episode: titles, slugs, durations, season and episode indexes, coin prices, and engagement counts.

It works as a Kuku TV API alternative and a Kuku FM video URL extractor for episode-level catalog enrichment, content research, and metadata pipelines. No Kuku FM account, login, or app installation is required.

Why use this Kuku TV episode scraper?

• Resolve up to 1,000 Kuku TV episodeId values into complete episode metadata in one run.
• Capture the playable videoUrl for every episode — an HLS master manifest that already lists the 360p, 540p, 720p and 1080p renditions.
• Capture season numbers, episode indexes, and durations for ordering and timeline work.
• Collect lock state, coin pricing, and premium flags per episode.
• Collect the audioUrl stream alongside the video manifest for audio-first workflows.
• Track engagement counts such as listens, plays, likes, shares, and comments.
• Receive one Dataset item per episode with the complete raw payload preserved.
• Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.
• Integrate with the Apify API, schedules, webhooks, Make, n8n, or cloud storage.

Typical use cases include Kuku TV episode metadata extraction, Kuku FM catalog research, episode-order validation, pricing and paywall analysis, and engagement benchmarking.

How to get Kuku TV episode details by ID

1. Open the Actor's Input tab.
2. Add one or more numeric episode IDs to episodeIds. Episode IDs are the id values inside a show payload and the values listed next to each episode on Kuku FM.
3. Click Start.
4. Open the Dataset to inspect, filter, download, or integrate the results.

How much does Kuku TV episode detail extraction cost?

FREE-tier users pay $4 per 1,000 successfully resolved episode IDs ($0.004 per episode). Users on BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM, and DIAMOND tiers pay $3 per 1,000 ($0.003 per episode). Diagnostic rows with success: false are not charged, and duplicate input IDs do not generate additional result charges.

There is no monthly result cap. Paid Apify platform usage for the run — compute and proxy bandwidth — is billed separately by Apify.

Input

See the Input tab for all options. episodeIds accepts up to 1,000 numeric IDs. Duplicates are ignored while their first-seen order is preserved.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find Kuku TV episode IDs?

The fastest source is the episodes array of the Kuku TV & Kuku FM Show Details & Episodes API, which returns every released episodeId for a show in order. The Kuku TV & Kuku FM Episode Comments Scraper API also reports the episodeId for every episode it processes.

Do I need a Kuku TV or Kuku FM account?

No. Every endpoint used by this Actor is public, so no login, token, or app installation is required.

Why are coinsToUnlock and calculatedCoinsToUnlock different?

coinsToUnlock is the list price the Kuku TV apps display, while calculatedCoinsToUnlock is the price the API computes for the current request. Both are captured so you can compare them.

Why is description sometimes null?

The episode endpoint returns description: null for most episodes, so the Actor reports null rather than copying the show synopsis into the episode row. Fetch the parent show with the Kuku TV & Kuku FM Show Details & Episodes API when you need the synopsis.

Does the Actor return a playable video URL?

Yes. Every episode row carries videoUrl, an HLS master manifest that resolves to the 360p, 540p, 720p and 1080p renditions, and audioUrl for the audio stream. Both are returned for public episodes without a Kuku FM account, and the manifest is served straight from the CDN with no extra headers.

Does the video URL still work for a locked or premium episode?

Yes. isLocked reports whether the episode needs a coin or subscription unlock for normal playback inside the Kuku FM apps; it does not gate the URL that this Actor reports. Check isLocked when you need to know the entitlement state, and treat videoUrl as the stream location.

Can I request more than 1,000 episodes in one run?

Split larger sets across multiple runs or use the Apify API to start the Actor with several input batches.
