Bulk video & audio download API

What it is. TornadoAPI is an industrial-grade API that turns a YouTube or Spotify link (or thousands at once) into media files delivered straight to your own cloud storage. It's built in Rust for raw throughput and engineered to keep working where ordinary scrapers get rate-limited and blocked.

What it's for

AI training datasets
Pull video & audio at scale to feed multimodal and speech models.
Content platforms
Ship download & repurposing features without building extraction infra.
Podcast & video intelligence
Ingest entire shows for transcription, search and analytics.
Archiving & clipping
4K/8K, custom codecs, audio-only extraction and segment clipping.

Who it's for

AI labs & ML teams, building large multimodal datasets.
Content & media platforms, embedding media access in their product.
Data engineering teams, who need reliable extraction without babysitting proxies.

Why TornadoAPI, not the others (vs Apify, Bright Data, Oxylabs, yt-dlp)

A dedicated product, not a side-feature
Video & audio extraction is the whole thing, not one of a hundred generic scrapers bolted onto a proxy marketplace like Apify or Bright Data.
Reliability you can put in a contract
99.9998% extraction rate measured in production over the last 30 days, backed by a contractual SLA on every tier.
Straight to your cloud
Files land directly in your own bucket (AWS S3, GCS, Azure Blob, Cloudflare R2, Alibaba OSS or Google Drive) with no intermediate server in the path.
Built in Rust to scale
Horizontally scalable to hundreds of TB per day. The anti-restriction engine rotates proxies and manages cookies automatically, so you keep downloading where others get blocked.
Founder-level support
Direct Slack access to the people who built the engine, not a ticket queue.
