I built an API that lives only inside Telegram bots. Ready to break out.
Hey PH 👋
I'm Abdulatif, a 20-year-old developer from Uzbekistan.
Since 2024 I've been running FastSaverAPI - a media downloading API that
started as a small Telegram bot and grew into infrastructure serving
millions of requests. Everything I know about scaling (Postgres, Redis,
async Python, rotating proxies, and a lot of 3am debugging) I learned
by breaking it in production.
The funny part: it's been stable and profitable for almost two years,
but almost entirely inside the Telegram ecosystem - bot developers found
it, told each other, and that was my whole distribution. I never really
marketed it in English or outside Telegram, so the wider dev world has
no idea it exists. That's what I'm fixing this year.
Been lurking here a while, figured it was time to say hi.
Question for the makers here: if you had a product that already works
but zero international presence, where would you start - a marketplace
listing, writing content, or cold outreach to devs? Curious what
actually worked for you.
