Podcast media for analytics
Collect podcast source media for your analytics pipeline. Preserve episode identifiers and review missing results before your tools transcribe, classify or analyze the recordings.
The Challenge
Collect podcast source media for your analytics pipeline. Preserve episode identifiers and review missing results before your tools transcribe, classify or analyze the recordings.
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.
From a source URL to a file your product can use.
Preserve episode provenance
Store episode URLs and download outcomes beside your analysis records. This lets your team trace a transcript or classification to the media that was actually delivered.
Account for incomplete collections
Inspect missing and failed episodes before treating a show as a complete dataset. A source restriction or unavailable episode is an input limitation, not an analytics result.
Run analysis after delivery
Your transcription, classification and research tools consume the resulting files. Track those processing stages separately from the download job to avoid conflating file delivery with completed analysis.
How Tornado API works
Know what to expect.
How do I start?
Create an account, review your allowance and payment terms, then submit one source URL in the dashboard. Check the output, destination and billable usage before connecting the same steps to your application.
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.
