"API" bullshit.

Name: Cudder !cXCudderUE 2015-07-13 9:39

To web service providers:

Don't make me register for an "API key" or whatever you call it just so you can get my personal info and log, throttle, or charge for my requests for a subset of the data that I can already get freely via your app or website. Don't spread the misconception that your "developer API" is the only way to get at your data.

To "developers":

Don't beg and whine for an API when you can just use your fucking browser or their app to see the data already. Learn what View Source can do for you. Don't be mislead by web service providers who peddle their stupid API bullshit just so they can exert more control over you.

why are you all talking about scraping html? most websites display their content via javascript now, so you can just use their own javascript api.
