Evaluate an Apify migration at the actor boundary. Identify which outputs your application consumes, then test how a Tornado media job fits that contract.
“Tornado is literally the only good API that does this. I tried every competitor. It's a side project for them, a feature. For Tornado it's the whole product. The API is well designed, and any issue is fixed within a day. With the other guys it took weeks, if not months.”
Tornado API retrieves supported media, prepares your selected output and delivers the file. Use the dashboard to try a workflow and inspect jobs, then use the API to automate it.
Availability depends on the source, access restrictions and supported output options. Test representative URLs and review the API documentation. Submit content you are authorized to use; access to a public URL does not grant rights to reuse it.
Check the job’s final status and failure details. Source restrictions, unavailable media or delivery configuration can prevent completion. Resolve the reported cause before retrying; after a request timeout, check the existing job before creating another.
Billing uses billable volume under your account’s plan. A billing floor can make it differ from the delivered file size, especially for audio or clips. Billing in the dashboard shows your active rate, allowance and usage.
