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.

It extracts audio tracks from video files and processes them efficiently. ## Features - **Batch Conversion**: Convert multiple MP4 files simultaneously - **Customizable Quality**: Support for various output bitrates (64kbps, 128kbps, 320kbps) - **Concurrent Processing**: Handles multiple files in parallel for faster execution - **Apify Dataset Storage**: Converted MP3 files and processing logs saved directly to Apify dataset - **Error Handling**: Detailed reports for successes, failures, and errors per file - **Optional Cleanup**: Delete original MP4 files after successful conversion - **Secure Downloads**: Supports HTTPS URLs and handles authentication if provided ## How to Use ### Input Schema | Property | Type | Description | Default | Required | |----------|------|-------------|---------|----------| | `inputUrls` | array | List of MP4 file URLs to convert | `[]` | Yes | | `outputQuality` | enum | Output MP3 quality: `low` (64kbps), `medium` (128kbps), `high` (320kbps) | `medium` | No | | `deleteOriginal` | boolean | Delete original MP4 files after conversion | `false` | No | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | Maximum concurrent downloads/conversions (1-10) | `3` | No | ### Outputs - **Dataset**: Contains: - Converted MP3 files (as binary blobs) - JSON report with details: `{ "url": "...", "mp3Url": "...", "status": "success/error", "duration": "..." }` - **Logs**: Real-time console logs for monitoring progress ## Example Input ```json { "inputUrls": [ "https://example.com/video1.mp4", "https://example.com/video2.mp4", "https://example.com/video3.mp4" ], "outputQuality": "high", "deleteOriginal": false, "maxConcurrency": 5 } ## Example Output Report (JSON) ```json [ { "originalUrl": "https://example.com/video1.mp4", "mp3File": "video1.mp3", "bitrate": "320kbps", "duration": "120s", "status": "success", "size": "4500KB" }, { "originalUrl": "https://example.com/video2.mp4", "status": "error", "error": "Invalid MP4 format" } ] ## Running Locally 1. Clone/Fork this actor repository 2. Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt` 3. Run: `apify run` 4. Or use Apify CLI: `apify call [actor-id] --input input.json` ## Deployment - Deploy to Apify platform via [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com) - Build minutes: ~1 min per 10 files - Memory: 1GB recommended ## Limitations - Only supports MP4 input (H.264/AAC typically) - Max file size: 100MB per file - No video editing/subtitle extraction ## Troubleshooting - **Download fails**: Check URL accessibility and CORS - **Conversion errors**: Ensure audio track exists in MP4 - **High memory**: Reduce `maxConcurrency` ## Development Fork this repo and contribute!
