## 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

### What is the Rumble Scraper?

The **Rumble Scraper** is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from any [Rumble](https://rumble.com/) video or channel. Rumble is one of the fastest-growing alternatives to YouTube, especially for political, news, and creator content that wants an alt-platform presence. This scraper accepts URLs and returns clean structured JSON: title, duration, view count, like count, **dislike count** (Rumble still publishes dislikes — most platforms hide them), comment count, channel name, channel URL, categories, upload date, available format count.

Powered by `yt-dlp` for robust extraction, handles Rumble's varying URL formats (`rumble.com/v...`, `rumble.com/c/...`, embedded URLs).

### Use cases

- **Alt-platform content research** — track creators who left YouTube for Rumble; measure their growth.
- **Political-content analytics** — Rumble hosts a lot of political/news content; analyze views and engagement.
- **Cross-platform creator monitoring** — combine Rumble with YouTube data for full alt-tech ecosystem view.
- **Dislike-ratio research** — Rumble exposes dislike counts (rare in 2026); useful for sentiment proxy on niche content.
- **Brand monitoring on alt-tech** — track mentions of your brand in Rumble content.
- **Migration tracking** — measure how a creator's audience evolved after leaving YouTube.

### Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://rumble.com/v1234ab-example-title.html",
    "https://rumble.com/c/example_channel"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "url": "https://rumble.com/v1234ab-example-title.html",
  "id": "v1234ab",
  "title": "Example video title",
  "description": "Description body...",
  "duration": 1800,

### Pricing

**PAY_PER_EVENT — $0.001 per video metadata fetched** (= $1 per 1,000). Failed fetches not charged. Batch up to 1,000 URLs per run with 5 parallel extractions.

### FAQ — Rumble API alternatives

**Rumble official API alternative?** Rumble's official API is gated to partner accounts. This scraper has no auth, no quota.

**Channel expansion?** Yes — channel URLs auto-expand to constituent videos.

**Why does this scraper return dislikes?** Rumble still publishes the dislike count publicly — unlike YouTube which hid it in 2021. This makes Rumble unique for sentiment-proxy research.

**Does it download files?** No — metadata only. For download, use yt-dlp directly (which supports Rumble).

**How fast for bulk?** ~3-5 videos per second per actor instance with 5 parallel extractions.

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).
