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.”

Already paying Apify, Bright Data, or Oxylabs for video?
Most teams spending $1,000-3,000/month on these "general proxy providers" all-in cost more than TornadoAPI Growth tier when you factor:
- 1Their pricing ($1,000-3,000/mo 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 Growth at $2,800/mo replaces all that with SLA contractuel, dedicated to video, founder Slack 24/7.
