EXAPI - Public Media Processing API with Sub-100ms Global Response Times

I built and maintain EXAPI, a public REST API that lets developers download and process media from major platforms through a single, unified endpoint, with live, interactive documentation so anyone can test it directly from the docs, no separate playground needed.

Platforms supported: Instagram, TikTok, Smule, Spotify, X (Twitter), Facebook, Threads, and CocoFun.

What makes it production-grade:

Lightning fast - sub-100ms response times globally, achieved through an API-based architecture I re-engineered from an earlier, less stable headless-browser automation approach.

Bank-grade security - enterprise-level protection on every call, including Bearer token authentication.

Infinite scale - built to handle high-volume traffic without breaking, backed by a Redis-based message queue and dispatch system that prevents message/data loss under load. Under the hood: Python, FastAPI/Flask, PostgreSQL, Redis, deployed on production Linux VPS infrastructure with Nginx, Docker, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions, monitored and maintained by me directly for uptime and incident response.

Proof it works at scale: EXAPI is the same infrastructure powering three of my self-funded consumer products (TikTok, Smule, and Starmaker downloaders), serving real user traffic, not just a demo API. Full interactive docs: docs.execross.com
