Bulk video downloads with job tracking

Start with a bounded source list
Prepare the URLs your application actually needs and run a representative sample first. Check formats, destination access and observed usage before submitting the rest of the collection.
Reconcile results per source
Maintain a mapping from each source URL to its job and final result. A batch can contain successes, warnings and failures; aggregate counts should not hide which items still need attention.
Retry from recorded outcomes
Inspect the failure detail before creating another attempt. Preserve the previous job reference and reconcile the new result, so retries do not accidentally duplicate downstream processing.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? Talk to the team. Bring a sample URL or a job ID.

Will every source URL work?

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.

What happens when a job fails?

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.

How is usage billed?

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.
