Ship the dating app. Skip the platform.
Members, matching, messaging, moderation and payments: the entire backend of a dating product behind one API. You build the experience. We run everything else.
No spam. Just an invite when your slot opens.
THE HARD PART, SOLVED
Your launch day isn't an empty room.
Every dating app dies the same death: nobody's there. Build on datingapi.io and your product opens into a live shared member network with real profiles and real activity, from your first user onward. Or run a private pool of your own. Your call.
THE SURFACE AREA
Nine systems you no longer have to build.
Members & Profiles
Registration, profiles, photos, and configurable fields per brand.
Discovery & Matching
Geo, filters, compatibility and boosted visibility on a tuned search engine.
Messaging & Realtime
Conversations, read receipts, typing and live delivery.
Payments & Subscriptions
Hosted checkout, six gateways, trials, promos and dunning. Never touch card data.
Fraud & Trust
Email, IP and VPN screening on every signup. Scammers stopped before they land.
Moderation
AI screening plus human review on every photo and profile.
Identity Verification
Document checks and verified badges, built in.
Engagement
Lifecycle email, digests and re-engagement, running for you.
Events & Webhooks
Signed, retried, real-time. Your systems know the moment anything happens.
// 1. create a member
const member = await fetch("https://api.datingapi.io/v1/members", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${DATINGAPI_KEY}`,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: "ada@example.com",
display_name: "Ada",
birthdate: "1993-04-08",
location: { lat: 51.5072, lng: -0.1276 },
}),
});
// 2. search the shared network
const results = await fetch(
"https://api.datingapi.io/v1/search?radius_km=25&age=25,38",
{ headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${DATINGAPI_KEY}` } },
);An afternoon, not eighteen months.
- REST and JSON. Nothing exotic.
- SDKs for TypeScript, PHP and Python.
- Sandbox keys and test data from the moment you sign up.
EVENTS, AS THEY HAPPEN
Your systems hear everything.
Every signup, match, message, payment and moderation decision arrives as a signed webhook, retried until you acknowledge it.

BUILT FOR SCALE
Traffic you haven't had yet is already handled.
The same infrastructure serves a first-week launch and a network of millions: multi-region, autoscaled, and measured on every request.

WHO IT'S FOR
Founders
Launch in weeks with liquidity on day one, instead of spending a year building a platform nobody has joined yet.
Established operators
Replace an ageing backend and keep your brand, your funnel and your members exactly as they are.
Agencies & studios
Ship dating products for clients without building the platform twice, or ever again.
Build the dating app. We'll run the rest.
Private beta. Limited slots.
