Multimodal Youtube Video Data for AI Model Training
Training AI models capable of speech, image, or video generation requires large amounts of multimodal data. With the right scraping tools (like specialized APIs or high-bandwidth proxies), companies can access the required data for effective model training hassle-free.
Challenges of collecting multimodal video data
Hassle-free & convenient access to public video data (video, audio, transcript, or metadata) for effective multimodal model training is crucial. Achieving that, however, is difficult: it’s expensive, you may run into bans, or receive incomplete data.
IP bans & CAPTCHAs
One of the most common challenges when scraping Youtube videos is getting IP bans & CAPTCHA, especially when downloading large volumes of video content.
Solution: YouTube Scraper API
Easy access to search, video, audio metadata & transcript data
Zero-maintenance infrastructure: no IP rotation or bans
AI-ready structured outputs for seamless LLM integration
High costs
Multimodal model training can require hundreds or thousands of terabytes of multimodal data per month. As a result, your data acquisition costs might skyrocket.
Solution: High-Bandwidth Proxies
Best price for video downloads
Ultra-high download capacity (200Gbps+)
