## 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`).

## Ahentai Video Downloader | How to Download Ahentai Videos

Grab Ahentai videos from the very page you're viewing; there's no pasting of links and no hopping between tabs.

Start by opening the Ahentai video you're after and giving it a moment to load. Because the extension runs inside your browser, it locates the video source itself and needs no additional tools.

### Get it Here

- ✅ Files you download never pass through our servers
- ✅ Zero ads, tracking, or analytics
- ✅ Runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows

### Preview

### How It Works

1. **Visit the video page**: Head to the Ahentai page with the video you'd like to keep, and let it load the way it usually does.
2. **Let it find the file**: Launch the extension; it locates the available video source and displays a download option for the page you're viewing.
3. **Pick a format, then save**: Select a file option from the format menu and store the finished video on your device.

### What It Does

- Saves videos from Ahentai so you can watch them offline.
- A button on the current video page starts the download.
- The extension's toolbar popup gives you a second place to begin from.
- Each download covers one video at a time, which keeps the process uncluttered.
- Your browser's own download system performs the transfer.
- The browser's download panel shows how far along the download is.

### Ahentai Video Downloader vs. Pasted‑link downloader

The tool latches onto whatever video is playing on your Ahentai page, so a copied link never has to stand in for it.

| Ahentai Video Downloader | Pasted‑link downloader |
| --- | --- |
| Spots the video on the Ahentai page you have open | A link to an Ahentai page may overlook the embedded player |
| Cooperates with the player running in your browser | General-purpose tools often miss video tied to a session |
| Concentrates on the clip that has loaded | Finding the right file may mean sifting through a list of scraped results |
| You never have to identify the video manually | Submitting only the address may not preserve the player's state |
| Dependable detection straight from the open tab | Some services read only the HTML and miss embeds that load dynamically |

### Compatibility

**Browsers:** Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, Whale, Yandex

**Compatible with:**

- Video pages on Ahentai
- Browsers on desktop that support extensions
- Any video already viewable in the browser you're using
- Pages whose video source can be read
- Machines running Windows, macOS, or Linux

**Not compatible with:**

- Browsers on phones or tablets
- Safari
- DRM-locked or otherwise protected streams
- Taken-down or unreachable videos
- Scraping whole galleries or crawling in bulk
- Skipping past private, paid, region-locked, or age-restricted access

### FAQ

**How do I begin saving an Ahentai video?**
Go to the video's page on Ahentai and let the player finish loading. Then press the download button on the page, or open the extension popup, and your browser takes over from there.

**Where does the download button show up?**
Once the extension has detected the video, the button appears on the Ahentai video page you're viewing. The toolbar popup offers it too, as an alternative.

**Is it possible to download several videos at once?**
No, only one video downloads at a time, which keeps things simple and dependable. Stay on that video's page till the transfer is done.

**What format does the saved video use?**
It's saved as an MP4, the format Ahentai typically serves. No further conversion is required, and standard video players can open it.

### Know Before You Use It

- A saveable video option has to be exposed by the source page
- The video must already play in your browser
- Starting playback can be necessary before the extension spots the active source
- Available quality levels come from whatever player or host is in use

> Only download videos you own or have permission to save.

# 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("videodownloaders/ahentai-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) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("videodownloaders/ahentai-downloader").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call videodownloaders/ahentai-downloader --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,videodownloaders/ahentai-downloader"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
