Could you build this?
Partial The UI and MCP server wrapper are straightforward, but scraping viral video data and performance metrics continuously from TikTok, Reels, and Shorts requires dedicated scraper infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The service needs a distributed fleet of headless scrapers with residential proxy rotation, fingerprint spoofing, and reverse-engineered mobile API clients to bypass aggressive anti-bot protections on TikTok and Instagram. It also needs a processing pipeline to download opening video segments, extract audio for Whisper transcription, and continuously poll metrics to calculate viral velocity.
