📥 Motherless downloader for public video URLs

Motherless Downloader extracts fresh direct MP4 links and source-backed metadata from public Motherless video pages. Add one or more motherless.xxx video URLs or video IDs, then export a clean Apify dataset with video IDs, titles, thumbnails, tags, duration when available, and all source-exposed MP4 formats.

Use this Motherless downloader when you already have known public video targets and need repeatable exports for content review, cataloging, media operations, research, archiving workflows, or an API pipeline. The Actor works with public, reachable video pages only. You do not need Motherless cookies, a Motherless account, a browser extension, or a source API key.

For a small first run, add one public Motherless video URL or ID and start the Actor. Once the output shape fits your workflow, paste your own batch of public Motherless targets, schedule recurring runs, or call the Actor through the Apify API.

✅ What this Actor does

• Accepts public Motherless video page URLs on motherless.xxx.
• Accepts bare Motherless video IDs.
• Canonicalizes legacy motherless.com video URLs to the current motherless.xxx source path.
• Deduplicates repeated URL and ID aliases by video ID.
• Saves one dataset row per successfully resolved public video.
• Returns verified source-hosted MP4 links in formats.
• Includes source quality labels, dimensions, and content type when available.
• Adds title, thumbnail URL, tags, and duration when the source page exposes them.
• Skips invalid, duplicate, image-only, private, removed, blocked, or no-media targets without saving paid failure rows.

This Actor is focused on known public Motherless videos. It does not search Motherless, crawl categories, process galleries, access private content, download files into Apify storage, create ZIP archives, or install a browser extension.

📦 Data you can export

Each output row represents one public Motherless video where at least one direct MP4 link was found and checked. Core fields include:

• videoId - stable Motherless video identifier.
• title - video title shown by Motherless, when available.
• durationSeconds - video duration in seconds, when available.
• thumbnailUrl - source-hosted thumbnail or poster image URL, when available.
• tags - source-visible tags or categories.
• formats - source-hosted MP4 variants with mediaUrl, quality, width, height, and contentType when known.

You can open the dataset in Apify, export it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, call it through the Apify API, schedule recurring runs, or connect results to webhooks and integrations.

Direct media links can be signed and time-limited. Use exported MP4 URLs soon after the run, or rerun the Actor when you need fresh links. The Actor does not invent missing metadata; nullable fields stay empty when Motherless does not expose them.

🚀 How to run

1. Open the Actor input.
2. Add one or more public Motherless video URLs or IDs in Motherless videos.
3. Start the Actor.
4. Open the dataset.
5. Use formats to choose the MP4 link and quality that fit your workflow.

The Actor pushes successful rows during the run, so you can inspect early results before a larger batch finishes.

🧾 Input

Input example:

{
"targets":[
"https://motherless.xxx/0027819",

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged only for a successfully scraped video row that contains at least one verified source-hosted MP4 URL.

No charge is added for invalid inputs, duplicate targets, private or removed pages, image-only pages, blocked pages, unsupported targets, empty runs, or videos where no usable MP4 link is found.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

Motherless recently moved from motherless.com to motherless.xxx. Use motherless.xxx URLs when possible. Legacy .com video URLs are accepted only as an input convenience and are resolved against the current .xxx source path.

Some Motherless pages are images, galleries, private pages, removed pages, or pages without public video media. Those targets are skipped and do not create dataset rows.

This Actor returns direct source-hosted MP4 links. It does not copy the video file to Apify storage. Make sure you have the right to access and process the source content in your own workflow.

❓ FAQ

Can I use this as a Motherless video downloader API?

Yes. Add public Motherless video URLs or IDs in the input and run the Actor from Apify Console, the Apify API, schedules, webhooks, or integrations.

Does it download files into Apify storage?

No. The Actor returns fresh source-hosted MP4 links in formats[].mediaUrl. It does not mirror files, create ZIP archives, or store video binaries.

Does it work with private or login-only videos?

No. The Actor is built for public, reachable Motherless video pages. It does not use user cookies, account sessions, or private browser state.

Why did a target produce no row?

The target may be invalid, duplicate, removed, private, image-only, blocked, temporarily unreachable, or missing a public MP4 link. Failed targets are reported in logs and skipped from the dataset.
