Could you build this?
Partial While the frontend UI is simple, building and maintaining video extractors that bypass anti-scraping and rate limits across TikTok, YouTube, Meta, and X is a continuous cat-and-mouse game.
What it would actually take: Usually implemented by wrapping yt-dlp or third-party scraping APIs behind a Node.js/Python server, with proxy rotation and queue workers. Maintaining up-to-date reverse-engineered extractors and token solvers against frequent platform DRM and bot detection updates requires specialized web reverse-engineering effort.
