## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## AI Viral Video Hook Extractor & Multilingual Script Cloner (`viral-video-hook-cloner`)

> **Turn Winning Shorts, Reels & TikToks Into High-Retention Production Scripts in Seconds.**
> Extract psychological 0–3s hooks, retention formulas, localized **Spanish (`es`)**, **Brazilian Portuguese (`pt-BR`)**, and **English (`en`)** voiceover scripts, 3D visual prompts, and ManyChat comment-trigger CTAs.

***

### Why Content Teams & Agencies Use This Actor

- **Psychological Hook Deconstruction**: Identifies the exact 0–3 second curiosity gap, pattern interrupt, or visual shock driving high watch-time on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook/Instagram Reels.
- **Instant Multilingual Script Cloning (`ES` / `PT-BR` / `EN`)**: Translates and culturally adapts winning hooks into ready-to-record 40-second narration scripts rather than literal word-for-word translations.
- **Ready-to-Render 3D & AI Video Prompts**: Generates scene-by-scene visual prompts optimized for **Flux**, **Midjourney**, **Runway Gen-3**, **Kling**, and **Sora**.
- **Automated ManyChat / Comment-Bait CTAs**: Creates high-converting comment-trigger CTAs (e.g., *"Comment GLUCOSA below"*) to boost algorithmic distribution and DM lead capture.
- **Predictable Pay-Per-Event Pricing**: No monthly subscription required — pay only per analyzed video & generated script pack.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
