## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## 🎥 Loom Video Downloader

> 🚀 **Pull Loom video data and download links in seconds.** Titles, durations, view counts, transcripts, captions, thumbnails, owner info. No login, no API key.

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-05-08 · **📊 15+ fields** per video · **📝 Transcripts + captions** · **🚫 No auth** required

Pull live Loom video data without logging in. Pass a list of Loom share URLs and the actor returns one structured record per video with title, duration, view count, owner info, thumbnails, direct download URL, full transcript, and WebVTT captions. Built for content teams archiving knowledge bases, agencies repurposing client recordings, researchers studying screen-recorded content, and anyone who needs Loom data programmatically.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of each video, not a stale dump. The transcript and captions can be toggled off for a faster, lighter run when you only need metadata.

| 👥 Built for | 🎯 Primary use cases |
|---|---|
| Content and knowledge teams | Archive Loom recordings into your CMS |
| Agencies and consultancies | Repurpose client recordings into content |
| Sales enablement | Index demo videos with full transcripts |
| Researchers and accessibility | Convert recordings into searchable text |
| Engineering teams | Sync Loom uploads into internal video apps |
| Compliance and audit | Capture recorded sessions with metadata |

---

### 📋 What the Loom Video Downloader does

- 🎥 **Direct download URL.** Get the actual video file URL for download or storage.
- 📝 **Full transcript.** Fetches the spoken content as a single text block.
- 📋 **WebVTT captions.** Time-coded subtitles in standard format for video players.
- 🖼️ **Thumbnails.** Primary preview image URL.
- 👤 **Owner info.** Name and avatar of the creator.
- 📊 **Video metadata.** Title, description, duration, view count, share status.

The actor accepts a list of Loom share URLs (`/share/` or `/embed/`) and processes each independently. Records stream into the dataset as videos finish processing, so you can start consuming results before the run is fully done.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** Loom is a critical knowledge surface for many companies but lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats screen-recording downloads for archiving, repurposing, and search workflows.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| <code>urls</code> | array of strings | Loom Video URLs | Required. Loom share or embed URLs (e.g. `https://www.loom.com/share/abc123`). |
| <code>maxItems</code> | integer | Max Items | Free users: limited to 10 items (preview). Paid users: optional, max 1,000,000. |
| <code>includeTranscript</code> | boolean | Include Transcript | When true, fetches the full video transcript. Default <code>true</code>. |
| <code>includeCaptions</code> | boolean | Include Captions (VTT) | When true, fetches WebVTT captions with timestamps. Default <code>true</code>. |
| <code>proxyConfiguration</code> | object | Proxy Configuration | Optional. Loom works without proxy; enable only if you hit rate limits. |

Example 1. Three Loom videos with transcripts and captions.

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.loom.com/share/abc123",
    "https://www.loom.com/share/def456",
    "https://www.loom.com/share/ghi789"
  ],
  "includeTranscript": true,
  "includeCaptions": true,
  "maxItems": 3
}
````

Example 2. Metadata-only run (no transcript or captions).

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.loom.com/share/abc123"
  ],
  "includeTranscript": false,
  "includeCaptions": false,
  "maxItems": 1
}
```

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** turning off <code>includeTranscript</code> and <code>includeCaptions</code> makes runs much faster when you only need metadata or download links.

***

### 📊 Output

The dataset returns one structured record per Loom video. Each record carries identifiers, title, duration, view count, owner info, download URL, transcript, captions, and a back-reference URL. Consume the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS via the Apify console or API.
