Social Media Video Downloader — Multi-Platform, Multi-Language Web Application

About the Project

It is a web application with modern architecture that allows downloading videos from popular platforms such as YouTube, TikTok and Instagram via the browser. Project; It is built on a React-based user interface and PHP MVC backend and is designed to work smoothly in shared hosting environments.

The customer requested a tool that could download videos from different social media platforms from a single center, quickly and without requiring registration. In addition, a full-fledged admin panel that provides site management, multilingual structure and advertising management are also included. You can contact us for the live version of the project.

Key Features

• Multi-Platform Video Download: YouTube, TikTok and Instagram URLs are automatically detected; Video information and format options are retrieved instantly via RapidAPI (Social Download All-In-One) integration.
• Quality and Format Selection: Available formats such as SD, HD, 1080p and audio file (high quality audio) are listed; The user can download it by selecting the option he wants.
• Secure Download with CORS Proxy: Thanks to the server-side proxy mechanism, browser restrictions are overcome and the file is transferred directly to the device.
• Bilingual Interface (TR / EN): Full translation support is provided with the react-i18next library. Language preference can be managed both via the URL path (/tr, /en) and the subdomain structure. All translation texts are loaded dynamically from the database.
• Dark / Light Theme: Redux-managed theme selection is saved to localStorage and applied consistently across all pages.
• Live TV Module: TV channels that can be added from the admin panel are listed on the home page and on a separate "Live TV" page. With YouTube embed support, the broadcast can be watched via the modal window.
• Blog Management: Slug-based blog posts can be created, edited and deleted. Image upload feature is also included.
• Static Page Management: Pages such as privacy policy, cookie policy, privacy agreement can be edited on a slug basis from the admin panel.
• Platform Management: Supported platforms (with their icons and badges) can be managed from the admin panel; Active/passive statuses can be changed with a single click.
• Navbar and Footer Management: Menu items and footer links can be edited on a column basis from the admin panel.
• Ad Management: Independent advertising code can be added to the top, bottom, right and left areas of the Hero section; Each field can be activated/deactivated separately.
• SEO Settings: Site title, meta description, meta keywords and favicon can be defined separately on the basis of language (TR/EN). XML sitemap can be generated automatically.
• Download History and Statistics: All downloads are recorded in the database. Platform-based distribution, today's/total downloads and last 7-day charts (Recharts) are displayed in the admin panel.
• Contact Form: Users can send messages via the site. In the admin panel, messages can be listed and deleted according to read/unread status.
• Automatic Translation Assistant: Automatic translation can be made with a single click via the Google Translate API bridge on the translation management screen in the admin panel.

Admin Panel Features

One of the most powerful aspects of the project is its comprehensive admin panel. Security is prioritized with JWT-based session management, encrypted login (PHP password_hash) and protected route structure. The following modules can be managed via the panel:

• General site settings and logo management
• Language and translation management (DB-based, dynamic)
• Add / edit / delete platforms
• Live TV channel management
• Creating a blog post (including uploading images)
• Static page management
• Menu and footer link management
• Download history (paging + bulk deletion)
• Contact messages management
• Ad space management
• SEO settings + sitemap production
• Admin profile update (password included)

Technical Infrastructure

React 18 + Vite was used on the Front end; Performance optimizations such as code splitting, lazy loading and browser caching have been implemented. Redux Toolkit was chosen for global state management — video, admin and UI states are organized into separate slices.

On the backend side, PHP MVC architecture is adopted. Thanks to a single entry point (index.php) and a special Router class, all API requests are routed centrally. PDO was used in database operations; Comprehensive protection measures have been taken against SQL injection and XSS attacks. 

All URL redirection logic of the project is executed through the .htaccess file; In this way, the application can be installed in any shared hosting environment without requiring additional configuration.

Security Precautions

• Protection against SQL injection with PDO prepared statements
• XSS prevention with output escaping
• CORS headers configured for API security
• Password verification with PHP password_verify at admin login
• Listing (whitelist) the source domain allowed in the proxy download module
• Extension verification for uploaded images (jpg, jpeg, png, webp, gif)
