Streamable Video Downloader

Overview

This Apify actor extracts videos and metadata from Streamable.com. It provides direct download links and video information for archiving, analysis, or integration into automated workflows.

Key Features

• Extract direct video download URLs from Streamable links
• Retrieve multiple video qualities, including HD when available
• Fetch comprehensive metadata (title, duration, thumbnail, quality info)
• Process multiple URLs in parallel for efficiency
• Handle both public and private videos
• Output structured data in JSON, CSV, Excel, and other formats via Apify datasets

How to Use

Configure the actor with a list of Streamable URLs. It processes them and outputs the results to an Apify dataset, accessible via the Storage tab.

Input

Provide an array of Streamable video URLs in the links parameter.

{
  "links": [
    "https://streamable.com/o1ioj2",
    "https://streamable.com/abc123"
  ]
}

Output

For each processed URL, the actor returns an object containing:
- url: Original Streamable URL
- title: Video title
- duration: Video length in seconds
- thumbnail: Thumbnail image URL
- medias: Array of available video formats, each with:
- url: Direct download link
- quality: Video quality (e.g., "HD")
- extension: File format (e.g., "mp4")
- type: Media type ("video")

Example output snippet:

[
  {
    "url": "https://streamable.com/o1ioj2",
    "title": "Streamable Video",
    "duration": 0,
    "thumbnail": "",
    "medias": [
      {
        "url": "https://cdn-cf-east.streamable.com/video/mp4/o1ioj2.mp4?...",
        "quality": "HD",
        "extension": "mp4",
        "type": "video"
      }
    ]
  }
]

Limitations

• Works only with Streamable.com URLs
• Subject to Streamable's rate limits and access policies
• Some private or deleted videos may be inaccessible

Best Practices

1. Verify all input URLs are valid Streamable links
2. Allow adequate run time when processing many videos
3. Implement error handling in your workflow
4. Monitor usage to stay within rate limits
