What our customers say
“Tornado is the best product in the market that we have seen to be able to download YouTube videos, which is a critical process to our product. Not just that, the team is phenomenal and is able to help solve/streamline any issues we have in a speedy time. Tornado is a hidden gem and highly recommend them.”
Ibrahim Mohmed
CEO, Taja AI
“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. The team is incredibly responsive and quick to adapt when things shift, which makes a huge difference for us. It truly feels like a partnership, not just a tool.”
Founder, social media publishing platform
“Tornado is literally the only good api that does this. I tried every competitor - Oxylabs, Decodo... it's a side project for them. A feature. For Tornado, it's the whole product. It's well thought out, the api is well designed, and any issues are fixed within a day. With the other guys, it took weeks (if not months). Couldn't be happier as a customer.”
Podcast platform founder
Already paying Apify, Bright Data, or Oxylabs for video?
The real cost of running on a general proxy provider isn't just their invoice. Once you factor in the rest, TornadoAPI almost always comes out cheaper all-in:
- 1Their monthly invoice for the proxy/scrape service
- 210-15 hrs/week of eng time on maintenance, debugging anti-bot, fighting YouTube changes
- 3Downtime cost when their service breaks (10-30% scrape failures common)
TornadoAPI replaces all of that with a contractual SLA, infrastructure dedicated to video, and founder Slack 24/7.
