Bright Data alternative for video extraction

Done babysitting proxy pools? Get delivered files, not IP addresses.

Bright Data sells you proxies; the extraction pipeline is still your problem. Tornado API sells the outcome: files confirmed in your bucket, with the network, anti-bot layer and retries handled for you.

Why teams switch

Dedicated to video, not a generic scraper
Our entire infrastructure (50 Gbps capacity, video-tuned IP pool) exists for one workflow: YouTube + Spotify video at production scale.
Contractual SLA, not best effort
99.5% on Starter, 99.7% on Medium, 99.9% on Advanced, custom on Business. Written in the contract, not a marketing claim.
Founder Slack on every paid tier
When YouTube updates defenses, the founder pages himself. No outsourced first-line support, no tier-1 ticketing.
White-glove migration included
Included on Medium and up. We map your existing integration and ship a working replacement in days.
Pricing match for the first 3 months
On Medium tier we match your current provider pricing for the first 3 months if you migrate. Risk-reversed switch.
Money-back guarantees that escalate
30-day on Starter/Medium if SLA is missed, 60-day on Advanced, 100% money-back on Business if not in production within 90 days.

“We evaluated several solutions for downloading YouTube content, and most struggled to keep up with ongoing changes. Tornado API has been the most reliable by far.”
