Download YouTube and Spotify at scale without getting blocked. Built-in proxy rotation, cookie management, and bot detection bypass — you submit URLs, we handle the rest. Files are uploaded directly to your own cloud storage (S3, R2, Azure Blob, GCS, Alibaba OSS).

Want 4K, unlimited downloads, playlists, live recording, and clipping? dash.tornadoapi.io 

Quick Start

1. POST /jobs with a video URL + your storage credentials:

{
  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "storage": {
    "provider": "s3",
    "endpoint": "https://ACCOUNT_ID.r2.cloudflarestorage.com",
    "bucket": "my-videos",
    "region": "auto",
    "access_key": "YOUR_KEY",
    "secret_key": "YOUR_SECRET"
  }
}

2. Poll GET /jobs/{id} every 2-5s. When status is Completed, s3_url has your presigned download link.
