## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

### Loom User Videos Scraper

**Scrape public Loom videos from any user profile, up to a million per run.** Every video comes with its title, view count, duration, and direct URL. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Loom's official API requires an app registration, OAuth, and rate-limits you. This reads the public profile feed directly, filtered by username, and returns each match in one fixed schema. No API key, no login, no rate limits.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Loom for |
|---|---|
| Content marketers | Which Loom videos a competitor or influencer has published recently |
| Sales teams | Prospect research by reviewing a lead's public Loom demos and pitches |
| Product researchers | How users explain a workflow or bug in their public Loom recordings |
| Recruiters | A candidate's public Loom portfolio to assess communication skills |

```

### What it does

This Actor collects public Loom videos from a given username and returns each one as a flat row.

- 📊 **Flat rows:** each video is one record with title, view count, duration, and URL.
- 🔗 **Direct URLs:** every row includes the shareable Loom link for the video.
- 📈 **View counts:** see how many times each video has been watched.
- ⏱️ **Duration:** know the length of each video before you watch it.
- 📁 **Multiple exports:** download as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with Loom data

**📈 Track competitor content.**

A content marketer enters a competitor's Loom username and gets every public video with view counts to see which topics perform best.

**🧑‍💼 Prospect research.**

A sales rep scrapes a lead's public Loom videos to understand their product before the first call.

**🔍 Product feedback.**

A product researcher collects public Loom recordings from users to spot common workflow issues.

**📋 Candidate screening.**

A recruiter pulls a candidate's public Loom portfolio to evaluate their presentation skills.

### Why choose this scraper

|  | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key** | Scrape public Loom profiles without registering an app or dealing with OAuth. |
| **No rate limits** | Run as many requests as you need, up to one million videos per run. |
| **Fixed schema** | Every video comes back with the same fields, so your pipeline stays stable. |
| **Fast setup** | Enter a username, set a max, and start the Actor. No code required. |

### How it compares

No other Store actor targets Loom the same way, so the honest comparison is with the alternatives teams actually weigh.

| | Loom User Videos Scraper | Build it in-house | By hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Run it now, zero config | Days of engineering | None, but hours per pull |
| When Loom changes | Maintained for you | You fix it | You re-learn the page |
| Proxies, retries, anti-bot | Built in | Your problem | Browser only |
| Output | Fixed JSON schema, CSV/Excel export | Whatever you build | Copy-paste |
| Cost | Pay per result | Engineering time | Analyst hours |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor from a single Loom username, and set a maximum number of videos to return. The scraper reads the public profile page and returns each video as a flat row. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "username": "exampleuser",
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "username": "exampleuser",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.00635 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $0.64 |
| 1,000 results | $6.35 |
| 10,000 results | $63.50 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Loom User Videos Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/loom-user-videos-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Loom through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/loom-user-videos-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that the username is correct and that the profile has public videos. Also make sure you did not include the @ symbol.

**Why did the run stop at 10 items?**

Free users are limited to 10 items as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan to scrape more.

**Why are some videos missing?**

Only public videos are returned. If a video was deleted or made private after the scrape started, it may not appear.

**Why is the run slow?**

The Actor respects Loom's servers. If you are scraping a large profile, it may take a few minutes. Increase maxItems only if you need more data.

**Can I get the video file itself?**

No, this Actor returns metadata and the direct URL. To download the video file, you would need a separate download step.

### FAQ

## MCP server setup

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
