This Apify Actor scrapes video data from Vimeo profile or channel pages using advanced anti-detection techniques.
It automatically scrolls, clicks on "Load more" buttons, and extracts key information such as:

• Video Title
• Video URL
• Video ID

Features

• Advanced Anti-Detection: Implements sophisticated browser fingerprinting and stealth techniques to bypass Vimeo's bot detection
• Aggressive Loading Strategy: Uses multiple fallback strategies to handle navigation timeouts and ensure successful page loading
• Comprehensive Video Extraction: Employs 4 different strategies to find and extract video information
• Smart Pagination: Automatically clicks "Load more" buttons to retrieve additional videos up to videoMax limit
• Duplicate Prevention: Intelligently filters out duplicate videos and navigation links
• Proxy Support: Configurable proxy usage via Apify to avoid IP-based blocking
• Robust Error Handling: Continues scraping even when individual elements fail to load

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Default Value
url	string	Vimeo profile or channel URL to scrape.	"https://vimeo.com/wearepixelartworks"
videoMax	integer	Maximum number of videos to extract.	500
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy configuration for scraping (Apify proxies recommended).	{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [] }

Output

The Actor generates a JSON dataset containing an array of video objects:

[
  { 
    "title": "The Macallan: The Heart of the Spirit Pixel Artworks", 
    "url": "https://vimeo.com/999441939",
    "videoId": "999441939"
  },
  { 
    "title": "Star Wars Hunters Pixel Artworks", 
    "url": "https://vimeo.com/992725997",
    "videoId": "992725997"
  }
]

How It Works

1. Stealth Mode: Applies comprehensive anti-detection measures including browser fingerprinting, header spoofing, and automation detection bypass
2. Aggressive Loading: Uses multiple fallback strategies (networkidle → domcontentloaded → forced continuation) to handle Vimeo's sophisticated blocking
3. Multi-Strategy Extraction: Combines link extraction, container analysis, text-based search, and image-based detection
4. Intelligent Pagination: Automatically detects and clicks "Load more" buttons while avoiding duplicates
5. Content Validation: Filters out navigation links, profile pages, and non-video content

Anti-Detection Features

• Browser Fingerprinting Override: Masks webdriver properties, plugins, languages, and hardware characteristics
• Realistic Headers: Sets comprehensive HTTP headers including Sec-Ch-Ua, Sec-Fetch-* patterns
• Mouse Movement Simulation: Adds random human-like interactions to avoid behavioral detection
• Function Override: Hides automation-related function properties and toString methods
• Viewport Spoofing: Sets realistic browser dimensions and viewport characteristics

Performance

• Default Timeout: 120 seconds per request with intelligent fallback strategies
• Load More Loops: Up to 20 iterations to ensure maximum video collection
• Duplicate Prevention: Efficient filtering to avoid processing the same video multiple times
• Memory Optimization: Processes videos in batches to maintain performance

Use Cases

• Content Research: Analyze video portfolios and content strategies
• Competitive Intelligence: Monitor competitor video content and publishing patterns
• Data Collection: Gather video metadata for analysis and research purposes
• Content Discovery: Find relevant videos across Vimeo channels and profiles
