Why use Streamable Video Downloader

• No login needed: paste a link, embed snippet, or short code and get a result back immediately.
• Every quality variant: get all available resolutions for a video, not just one link.
• Nothing goes missing: deleted or unavailable videos still return a row so you know exactly what happened.
• Flexible input: works with share links, embed links, full embed snippets, or bare short codes.
• Optional file storage: turn on one setting to also save a copy of the video file itself.

Pricing

$0.0022 per video record, about $2.20 per 1,000 results. No monthly subscriptions and no minimum commits. New Apify accounts include $5 of free usage, so you can try it before you pay.

You only pay for the records you actually receive. A typical run of 100 videos completes in seconds.

---

Quick start

Create a .env file from .env.example, add your Apify API token, and run:

npm install
npm start

The script uses the Apify API client to start getascraper/streamable-video-downloader and fetch results.

Tips and optimization

• Batch your links: paste many videos at once instead of running the actor repeatedly, since setup time is shared across the batch.
• Leave file download off unless you need the actual file, since resolving the link alone is faster and lighter.
• Set Max items to cap spend on very long lists while you test the output shape.
• Check the status field before trusting a result. Only ready rows with available: true have a working download link.

FAQ

Is this legal to use? This actor only resolves videos that are already public on Streamable and viewable without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the results, including respecting the rights of whoever uploaded the video.

Do I need a Streamable account or API key? No. Paste a link or code and press start. No login is needed.

What happens if a video was deleted or never existed? You still get a row for it, marked not_found with available: false, so nothing silently disappears from your results.

Can I get the actual video file, not just a link? Yes. Turn on Download and store the video file in the input. This takes longer and uses more data, so it is off by default.
