Open-source intelligence infrastructure
OSINT work depends on what you captured, when you captured it, and whether you can reproduce the record. StormKeep delivers structured video data, metadata captured at delivery time, and audit-ready delivery records directly into your cloud environment — so your team focuses on analysis, not pipeline maintenance.
StormKeep is a managed delivery service and does not guarantee legal admissibility. Customers are responsible for ensuring they have the right to use requested sources.
Public YouTube content can be removed, edited, or made private with little notice. For OSINT and intelligence teams, the window to collect with a documented process is often short.
Even when content is captured, the capture process becomes the question: who ran the job, when it ran, what file was delivered, what metadata was present at capture time, and how the collected assets were indexed.
Videos disappear. Descriptions change. Teams need timestamps and provenance signals to keep records interpretable.
Ad-hoc downloads create gaps: no manifest, unclear operator actions, inconsistent metadata outputs.
Teams need consistent package structure across runs — not one-off folders and screenshots.
Preservation often requires delivery into secured, customer-controlled storage environments.
A compact view of the records analysts typically want to confirm before a handoff lands in review tooling.

Scoped preservation matters, recurring watchlists, and teams that need a documented delivery record without operating collection infrastructure themselves.
StormKeep is a managed delivery service — not a scraping tool. You define the scope (URLs, channels, playlists, keywords). We deliver a structured package into your S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or SFTP destination.
Consistent folder layout and naming for downstream review tooling.
SHA-256 hashes and capture timestamps recorded per asset at delivery time.
Delivery manifests index items, timestamps, and status in JSONL or CSV.
Simple inputs, structured outputs, no pipeline to operate.
Submit URLs, channels, playlists, or keyword parameters.
Deliver into your S3/GCS/Azure bucket or SFTP location.
On-demand jobs can be triggered through the delivery workflow or by contacting the team for priority handling. Recurring schedules are supported.
Analysts work from structured packages and delivery records in your environment.
Everything your workflow needs — nothing you have to reconstruct later.
| Deliverable | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Video files | MP4 | Quality tier configurable |
| SHA-256 hashes | Per file | Generated at delivery time |
| Capture timestamps | UTC | Recorded per asset |
| Metadata | JSON | Title, description, upload date, channel details, view count at capture |
| Transcripts/captions | VTT / TXT | Where available on source |
| Thumbnails | JPG | Multiple resolutions |
| Delivery manifest | JSONL / CSV | Index of collection and delivery statuses |
DIY tools can work for individual researchers. At team scale — or when documented delivery records matter — they often create operational friction: retries, inconsistent schemas, missing manifests, and no support relationship.
StormKeep is managed delivery with scoped inputs, structured outputs, and reproducible formats. For operational tradeoffs, see yt-dlp at scale.
No. StormKeep provides structured delivery, hashes, timestamps, and manifests. Admissibility depends on your process and jurisdiction.
Yes — S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or SFTP. We deliver into customer-controlled destinations.
Only as long as needed to complete delivery. Long-term retention remains in your environment.
Yes. Jobs can be configured on a defined cadence for scoped sources.
StormKeep is a managed service: scoped, operated, documented, and delivered into your cloud with consistent manifests and support.
Stop maintaining fragile collection infrastructure. Let StormKeep operate the delivery workflow.
