Video downloader API, from $0.047 per GB

What is a video downloader API?

A video downloader API takes public video URLs and automatically downloads the video and audio files inside your workflow. It is built for teams that collect large amounts of public videos, like those on YouTube, for AI training, content analysis, and caption and audio research.

The WING PROXY Video Downloader API bills by the size of the downloaded files in GB. We run the proxies and download servers, so you have no servers to build or maintain.

Downloading videos one by one takes a long time, and file names and formats easily end up inconsistent. The Video Downloader API takes a whole URL list and processes it with the same rules, so your collected data can go straight to training or analysis.

Pricing starts at $0.08/GB for the 500GB package and goes down to $0.047/GB for the 100,000GB package.

How much does a video downloader API cost per GB?

The Video Downloader API starts at $0.08/GB for the 500GB package and goes down to $0.047/GB for the 100,000GB package. Only the size of downloaded video files counts, and failed requests are not billed.

The 100,000GB package at $0.047/GB is about 41% lower than the 500GB package at $0.08. For projects collecting large volumes like training data, larger packages get you far more videos on the same budget.

For example, the 5,000GB package costs $332.50 in total, or $0.07/GB. Multiply the average size of your videos by how many you need per month to find the GB you need, and choosing a package is easy.

All prices are in USD.

What is a video downloader API used for?

The Video Downloader API suits work that needs to collect many public videos at consistent quality over time. Submit a URL list and it downloads in parallel, which is dramatically faster than downloading one by one.

You do not need to run your own download servers or proxies, so even a small research team can start large scale collection the same way a big data team does. As requests grow, simply scale the same way.

Failed requests are retried automatically and are not billed. Even with a large URL list, only fully downloaded files count, so you can predict costs accurately.

Long URL lists can be submitted in one go.

• Collecting training data for video and audio AI models
• Caption and audio analysis of public lectures and talks
• Monitoring public videos that feature brands and products
• Regular archiving of video material for research

How do I choose video quality and format?

Set the quality and format you want in your request, and files are downloaded that way. Choose high quality when you need near original quality, or an audio format when you only need sound, to save both storage and traffic.

Higher quality means larger files and more GB used. Set the minimum quality your training needs first, and the same package covers more videos.

You can download the same URL list at different qualities for different purposes. For example, get audio files only for speech recognition training and high quality video for scene analysis, so you collect exactly what you need.

You can also set the format to match your tools, so downloaded files go straight to the next step without conversion. Less conversion saves both storage and work time.

Start with a few videos to check file sizes at each quality, and you can calculate the GB you need more accurately.

Where are downloaded files delivered?

Receive files directly through the API, or have them sent to a cloud storage bucket you choose. Scheduled collection downloads at set times, so you can gather new public videos every day without manual work.

Sending files straight to cloud storage means no extra step to move them. Connect your training pipeline to read from that storage, and collection through training prep runs as one flow.

Scheduled collection can run daily, weekly or on any set cycle, so you capture newly published videos as they appear.

You can also set a different destination per job, so training data and analysis data go into separate storage from the start.

• Receive directly in the API response
• Automatic delivery to cloud storage
• Scheduled collection at set times
• Automatic retries for failed requests

What is included in video downloader API pricing?

Every package includes the same features you need for large scale collection.

Larger packages keep the same features and only lower the price per GB. Fine tune quality and format on a small package, then move to a larger package with the same settings to continue at scale.

• Near original quality
• Many URLs processed at once
• Clean output files
• Fast, consistent speed
• Automatic retries for failed requests
• Choice of quality and format
• Large volumes processed right away
• Technical support

What videos can I download with a video downloader API?

You can download videos that are publicly available to anyone. Follow our Acceptable Use Policy and each site's terms, and you can reliably collect the material you need for research and training.

For more than 100,000GB, use the Contact button to tell us how much you need and we will send you custom terms. Payment comes from a balance topped up with USDT (TRC20), and any remaining balance can be used on other products.

Teams collecting public videos for research and training should prepare their target list and purpose in advance. A ready list goes straight into the API, which speeds up collection too.

All prices are in USD, and the package price is deducted from your balance in one payment.

How do I get started with the video downloader API?

Sign up with an account token, top up your balance with USDT (TRC20) and choose the GB package you need to start right away. Begin with a short URL list to set quality and format, and once results look right, expand the list for large scale collection.

Your top-up stays as a balance you can use for more packages or split across other products. Once your first top-up is credited, Support opens in your dashboard, where you can discuss terms for large scale collection.

• Create an account token with the sign up button
• Top up your balance with USDT (TRC20) ($50 to $10,000)
• Choose the GB package you need
• Send a request with your URL list, quality and format
