Could you build this?
No Social media platforms constantly change anti-scraping defenses, obfuscate internal APIs, and rate-limit IPs, making a universal multi-platform scraper API practically impossible to maintain via vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The system requires automated reverse-engineering pipelines for private mobile and web APIs across 23 platforms (TikTok, Instagram, X, etc.), handling TLS fingerprint spoofing, dynamic mobile token generation (e.g., X-Gorgon, device attestation), and vast pools of rotating residential/mobile proxies. The hardest problem is 24/7 monitoring to patch broken parsers and signatures within hours of platform updates. This requires dedicated reverse engineers and continuous capital expenditure for proxy fleets.
