## 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.

# README

## Stripchat Video Downloader

Save Stripchat videos from a URL for offline viewing, archiving favorites, QA, or organizing a personal media library. Paste a video link and the Actor returns a browser-ready download link and useful metadata without making you dig through page code or browser network requests.

### What You Get

- A simple URL-based workflow for Stripchat videos
- Support for stripchat.com, stripchat.global, and locale subdomains such as de.stripchat.com
- A browser-ready download link you can open or pass into your own workflow
- Metadata for each video, including title, description, performer, likes, duration, token price, resolution, publish date, and thumbnail
- Support for paid, fan-club, and friends-only videos when you supply a cookie for an account that can access them

### Common Use Cases

- Build a personal offline Stripchat media library from video URLs
- Prepare downloaded videos for organizers like [Stash App](https://github.com/stashapp/stash) or a Plex Media Library
- Keep favorite videos together with useful metadata
- Collect video metadata for cataloging, QA, or research workflows

### Input

#### Download a free video

```json
{
  "url": "https://stripchat.com/Vanessa_Nowak/videos/28822530",
  "debug": false
}
```

#### Unlock a video your account has access to

```json
{
  "url": "https://stripchat.com/Vanessa_Nowak/videos/55382237",
  "cookie": "stripchat_com_sessionId=...; localeDomain=..."
}
```

| Field                | Required | Description                                                                                                                         |
| -------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `url`                | Yes      | Full Stripchat video page URL.                                                                                                      |
| `cookie`             | No       | Cookie header from a logged-in session. Only needed for videos your account has purchased or has fan-club/friends access to.        |
| `debug`              | No       | Adds selected diagnostics and the raw Stripchat API response. Usually only needed while troubleshooting.                            |
| `proxyConfiguration` | No       | Residential proxy pinned to the U.S. Virgin Islands by default. Override the country/groups or disable it via Apify's proxy editor. |

### Output

The Actor saves one item to the default dataset. Successful results include normalized metadata plus:

```json
{
  "thumbnailUrl": "https://...",
  "downloadUrl": "https://...",
  "downloadType": "free",
  "title": "Summer Ah Summer",
  "description": "A clean, HTML-free description of the video.",
  "creatorName": "Vanessa_Nowak",
  "creatorUrl": "https://stripchat.com/Vanessa_Nowak",
  "price": 0,
  "currency": "TOKENS",
  "resolution": "1080p",
  "durationSeconds": 59,
  "publishedAt": "2024-07-02T21:13:23.000Z",
  "likes": 129,
  "scrapeStatus": "ok",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-30T08:05:23.191Z",
  "videoId": "28822530"
}
```

Important download fields:

- `downloadUrl`: browser-ready download page link. The page resolves a fresh media source at click time, which matters on Stripchat because the underlying media URL is signed and expires after a few hours.
- `downloadType`: `free` for a free video, `paid` when a supplied cookie unlocks a gated video.
- `price` / `currency`: the video's cost in **Stripchat tokens**, not money. Stripchat prices videos only in its own on-site token currency, so `currency` is always `TOKENS` and `price` is the raw token cost (`0` for free videos).

If the video cannot be resolved, the dataset item still contains a machine-readable status:

- `invalid_input`: Required input is missing or malformed.
- `invalid_cookie`: The supplied cookie did not unlock the video. The session may be expired, signed out, or from an account without access.
- `not_found`: The video or performer could not be found, or the video was removed.
- `not_free`: The video is gated. Provide a cookie for an account that can access it.
- `no_download_url`: No downloadable source could be found for this video.
- `api_error`: The Stripchat API could not be reached or returned an unexpected response.

### Limits and Notes

- This Actor downloads videos, not live streams.
- The Actor returns one video download result per run.
- Paid, fan-club, and friends-only videos need a cookie for an account that can access them.
- Site changes, unavailable videos, or changed API responses can affect results.
- Users are responsible for making sure their use of downloads complies with applicable laws and website terms.

# Actor input Schema

## `debug` (type: `boolean`):
