Hello,

I am adding a new sub-set of services for my users in relation to content delivery and streaming.

I was thinking about developing a service that uses catbox.moe as a “hosting provider” with my API logic sitting in-between acting as a controller.

When a user saves a video on my platform, I save it to catbox.moe, than create a URL for the end-user. I then save a reference to the database so that when an end user requests the URL, I retrieve the initial content from catbox.moe and stream it back to the user or create a download link for it.

The goal is to provide cloud storage & video streaming solutions without hosting the content myself.

Is this a good approach? or a bad idea? I want to consult others before going ahead and developing this tool.

    It’s American Thanksgiving weekend, so I wouldn’t expect a response from Catbox until at least Monday for non-emergency inquiries.

    Not familiar with gofile, but if their terms allow it or you’ve cleared it with the owner, then best of luck.
