## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Rumble Transcript Scraper (SRT/VTT)

Convert **Rumble videos to text** — paste video links and get the transcript as plain text plus ready-to-save **SRT and VTT subtitle files**, with timestamps, in one run. Captions come straight from Rumble's public player data: no browser, no login, results in seconds.

**⚡ Quick start (10 seconds):** paste one Rumble link below, press **Start**, and download your files from the *Storage → Key-value / Dataset* tab when the run finishes — TXT transcript plus SRT/VTT subtitle files for every video.

```text
Example output per video
├─ transcript.txt   "Welcome back everyone, today we..."
├─ subtitles.srt    1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,200
Welcome back...
└─ subtitles.vtt    WEBVTT ...
```

### What you get

- Clean plain-text transcript per video
- **SRT** and **VTT** caption files with timestamps
- Timestamped segments plus video title, id and language
- List of every available caption language

### Use cases

- Quote and analyse news clips, podcasts and shows hosted on Rumble
- Subtitle workflows: export SRT/VTT for editing or translation
- Research and monitoring over Rumble content at scale

### Input

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `videoUrls` | Rumble links (`rumble.com/v….html` or `rumble.com/embed/ID`) |
| `languages` | Preferred caption languages in priority order (default `en`) |
| `includeAllTracks` | One result per caption track instead of the best match |

### Pricing

Pay per result: one charge per transcript delivered. A video without captions is not charged.

# Actor input Schema

## `videoUrls` (type: `array`):

Rumble video links (rumble.com/v… .html) or embed links (rumble.com/embed/ID). One transcript per video is charged.

## `languages` (type: `array`):

Language codes in priority order (e.g. \["en","es"]). Auto tracks (en-auto) match too. Empty = first available.

## `includeAllTracks` (type: `boolean`):

If on, one result per available caption track instead of the best match.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Leave empty to run without a proxy (cheapest, and enough for Rumble in our tests). If Rumble blocks the run, the Actor escalates to datacenter and then residential proxy on its own. Set this only to force one specific proxy.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "videoUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://rumble.com/v7cys06-taiwan-president-urges-his-party-to-oppose-chinas-red-terror.html"
    }
  ],
  "languages": [
    "en"
  ],
  "includeAllTracks": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `transcripts` (type: `string`):

All scraped transcripts with metadata as JSON.

## `transcriptsCsv` (type: `string`):

Same dataset exported as CSV.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "videoUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://rumble.com/v7cys06-taiwan-president-urges-his-party-to-oppose-chinas-red-terror.html"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("crawlyard/rumble-transcript-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "videoUrls": [{ "url": "https://rumble.com/v7cys06-taiwan-president-urges-his-party-to-oppose-chinas-red-terror.html" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("crawlyard/rumble-transcript-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "videoUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://rumble.com/v7cys06-taiwan-president-urges-his-party-to-oppose-chinas-red-terror.html"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call crawlyard/rumble-transcript-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crawlyard/rumble-transcript-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
