Could you build this?
Partial An API wrapper around video processing is simple, but running high-volume, reliable video extraction against hostile platform anti-bot defenses requires massive proxy infrastructure and queue management.
What it would actually take: Architecture requires a scalable background worker fleet (Go/Node on Kubernetes) orchestrated with Redis/SQS, running customized `yt-dlp` and `ffmpeg` pipelines. The major challenge is proxy management: sourcing and rotating high-reputation residential proxies, rotating browser fingerprints, and constantly updating extraction scrapers to combat active anti-scraping countermeasures deployed by YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
