About Tumblr Video Downloader

Need to grab videos from Tumblr for a project or archive? This actor lets you do just that. You paste in the URL of any Tumblr post—whether it's a single video or a whole batch of posts—and it pulls out the embedded video files for you. I use it all the time to save clips for creative work or to keep a personal backup of content I love. Once the videos are extracted, you can download them directly to your computer. But it's also built for automation. You can trigger it through its API to fit into your existing workflows, schedule regular runs to monitor specific blogs, or pipe the data into other apps like Google Sheets or your own database. It's straightforward and gets the job done without fuss, making it a reliable part of my toolkit for handling Tumblr media.
