Loom Scraper

This Apify actor downloads Loom videos and transcripts, and extracts their metadata. It can process individual video URLs, entire folders, or all videos from a Loom account. The output is structured data suitable for archiving, analysis, or building searchable knowledge bases.

Key Features

• Video & Metadata Download: Fetches the original MP4 video file, thumbnails, title, description, duration, view count, and creator info.
• Transcript Extraction: Exports transcripts in multiple formats: SRT, VTT, TXT, or XML.
• Comment Scraping: Retrieves full comment threads and reactions.
• Bulk Folder Processing: Handles entire Loom folders automatically with progress tracking.
• Account-Wide Scraping: Option to scrape all videos from your own Loom account with date filtering and sorting.
• Bypass Download Restrictions: Can download videos even if the owner has disabled downloads in the video settings.
