Social platform APIs — you build the app, we power the backend
Dating and social products succeed when users feel safe. LOOKME provides APIs for profile creation, discovery algorithms, real-time messaging, subscription management, identity verification and automated content moderation.
Platform operators integrate these endpoints into their mobile apps and websites while maintaining control over branding, user policies and community guidelines. LOOKME handles the backend logic, storage and event delivery.
Age verification, privacy controls and reporting workflows are built into the API design. Operators remain responsible for compliance with applicable privacy, consumer protection and online safety laws in their markets.
Important: This is lawful dating and social API infrastructure. Platforms must follow applicable laws on privacy, consent, age restrictions, content and consumer protection. LOOKME provides APIs; operators remain responsible for their policies and lawful use.
