Could you build this?
Partial Providing exact public social counts from 9 major walled-garden platforms via a single API requires maintaining continuous, resilient web scraping and reverse-engineered mobile/web endpoints that actively fight bot detection.
What it would actually take: The backend needs a distributed scraping cluster utilizing residential proxy rotation, headless browser pools (Playwright/Puppeteer), fingerprint spoofing, and continuous parser maintenance to handle UI/API changes across Instagram, TikTok, and others. The hard part is bypassing sophisticated anti-scraping systems (Cloudflare, Akamai, custom token signing) at scale without accounts getting flagged or rate limited.
