What Is a Pornhub Scraper?
A Pornhub scraper takes the link to a public Pornhub video and returns direct MP4 download links together with basic video details and engagement counts. It is used by studios and creators archiving their own content, and by moderation and rights-protection teams that need the file and its metadata in one request.
What Data Can You Extract from Pornhub?
Direct MP4 download links for every available quality (e.g. 720p, 480p, 240p)
Video title and duration (in seconds)
Like and comment counts
Thumbnail image URL
The original source URL
Common Use Cases
Archiving your own published content
Content moderation and copyright monitoring — checking suspected re-uploads

Tracking likes and comments on your videos
How Pornhub Scraping Works
- Send a POST request with the URL of a public Pornhub video
- The scraper resolves the video and its available streams
- You receive JSON with MP4 links per quality, the title, duration, engagement counts, and a thumbnail
- Download links are generated on each request, so fetch the files soon after receiving them
Challenges and Limitations
One video per request — channels, model profiles, search, and lists are not supported
Available qualities depend on what Pornhub serves for a given video
Private, removed, or geo-blocked videos may not be available
Age verification laws in some jurisdictions may restrict access
Legal and Ethical Considerations
Use this API only where adult content is legal and in line with age verification laws and Pornhub's Terms of Service. Download only content you own or are explicitly authorized to store — copies of other people's videos are not a license to redistribute them. Respect performers' privacy and consent.
FAQ
Does the API download videos?

Which qualities can I get?
Every quality Pornhub serves for the video is returned in the urls list with quality (e.g. "720p") and qualityNumber (720).
Can I get a whole channel or model profile?
No. The API works with a single video URL per request.
What format is the response in?
