Frequently asked questions
How are minutes counted?
Every started minute of video or audio counts: a 3-minute video uses 3 minutes, a 40-second clip uses 1. Quality, bandwidth and file size don't change the price. Checking a link with GET /api/v1/media is free.
When are minutes deducted?
When a download starts. If it fails (private, deleted or unreadable video), the minutes are refunded automatically.
How does the API work?
Send a link to POST /api/v1/downloads with your API key (HTTP 202), poll GET /api/v1/downloads/{id} while the status goes from processing to storing to ready, then fetch download_url.
Do unused minutes roll over?
Monthly minutes reset at each renewal. Minute packs are separate and stay valid 6 months after your latest pack purchase; they are used once your monthly minutes run out.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Anytime, from your account. An upgrade applies right away with its new minutes; a cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments are handled by Stripe: major cards and the local payment methods Stripe offers in your country, in USD or EUR.
What if I need more than 5,000 minutes a month?
Combine a plan with minute packs, or write to contact@videodownloadapi.com for volume pricing.
