## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

![Netfapx Downloader](https://apps.serp.co/media/optimized-products/netfapx-downloader-homescreen-adult-bae2c06684.webp)

Netfapx Downloader is designed for Netfapx's unique page structure where video content lives inside dated article routes like `/YYYY/MM/slug/` and plays through embedded iframes. This extension focuses on detecting the real media surface behind those article-style layouts so you can save videos directly as MP4 files.

- Precisely targets Netfapx dated `/YYYY/MM/slug/` article page routes
- Follows the iframe handoff to locate the actual playback surface
- Supports M3U8 and MP4 stream detection
- Works across netfapx.com, www.netfapx.com, and xiaoshenke.net domains
- Exports clean MP4 files for offline viewing

### Why Netfapx Downloader

Netfapx uses an unusual page structure where video content is embedded inside news-style article pages. Instead of a simple dedicated player URL, videos play through an iframe handoff that makes it harder to locate and download the actual media stream. Standard download tools often miss this hidden surface.

Netfapx Downloader was built specifically for this layout. It knows to look past the article page and follow the iframe to find the real M3U8 or MP4 stream. This focused approach means you can save videos from Netfapx without fighting its unique architecture.

### Features

- Article-route detection for dated `/YYYY/MM/slug/` page patterns
- Iframe handoff tracking to locate the embedded playback surface
- M3U8 and MP4 stream identification
- Multi-domain support across netfapx.com, www.netfapx.com, and xiaoshenke.net
- Clean MP4 export for standard media player compatibility
- Simple popup interface for starting downloads
- No account required to use the extension
- Lightweight design focused specifically on Netfapx

### How It Works

1. Install the extension from the latest release.
2. Open Netfapx and go to a supported video page.
3. Start playback so the extension can detect the media.
4. Open the popup or use the on-page controls.
5. Choose the quality option you want.
6. Start the download and wait for the MP4 export to finish.
7. Save the final file locally.

### Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Videos from Netfapx

1. Open your browser and navigate to a Netfapx video page that uses the dated article route like `/2026/04/slug/`.
2. Let the page load fully and start the video playing so the iframe handoff activates.
3. Click the Netfapx Downloader extension icon in your browser toolbar.
4. The popup will scan the page and detect the embedded playback surface.
5. Select the quality option you want from the available stream choices.
6. Click the download button to begin capturing the media.
7. Wait while the extension processes the stream and converts it to MP4.
8. Save the completed file to your preferred location.

### Supported Formats

- Input: M3U8 and MP4 streams found inside iframe handoffs on dated article-style pages
- Output: MP4

Saved files use MP4 so they are easier to replay on standard media players, move between devices, or archive locally.

### Who It's For

- People who regularly watch videos on Netfapx and want offline copies
- Users who prefer dated article-style page layouts over dedicated player pages
- Archivists collecting media from Netfapx and its related domains
- Anyone frustrated by iframe handoffs that hide the real video surface

### Common Use Cases

- Saving Netfapx videos for offline viewing during travel or limited connectivity
- Building a personal archive of content from Netfapx article pages
- Downloading videos to watch on devices without reliable internet access
- Backing up content from xiaoshenke.net and other related domains
- Extracting media from dated article routes that standard tools miss

### Troubleshooting

**The extension does not detect any video on the page**
Make sure the video is playing before opening the popup. The iframe handoff may not activate until playback starts.

**The download fails or produces a broken file**
Try refreshing the page and starting the video playback again before initiating the download.

**I see a "stale config" or similar warning**
This is a known caveat with the current build. Refresh the page and try again. The team is working on resolving configuration issues.

**The extension works on netfapx.com but not on xiaoshenke.net**
Both domains are supported, but some page variations may need a page refresh to trigger proper detection.

**The download button is grayed out**
Ensure the video is fully loaded and playing. Some streams need a few seconds to stabilize before capture is possible.

### 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

### FAQ

**Does the extension work on all Netfapx pages?**
It is designed for dated article-style routes like `/YYYY/MM/slug/` where video plays through an iframe handoff. Other page types may not be supported.

**What stream formats does the extension support?**
The extension currently targets M3U8 and MP4 streams based on verified hints from the Netfapx platform.

**Can I use this on xiaoshenke.net?**
Yes, the extension supports netfapx.com, www.netfapx.com, and xiaoshenke.net.

**Is the extension fully release-ready?**
The target is verified, but the implementation still has stale configuration notes that need QA. Treat it as a working candidate rather than a fully polished release.

**Do I need an account to use the extension?**
No account is needed to install and use the extension. A paid license is required for unlimited downloads after the trial.

### Notes

- Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save
- An internet connection is required for downloads
- Netfapx uses dated article routes like `/YYYY/MM/slug/` instead of conventional player pages
- The iframe handoff may require the video to be playing before detection works
