We're using APIs rather than screen

2024-02-02 23:40:02.994068+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

We're using APIs rather than screen scraping because APIs *should* be more stable, but holy crap the number of API revs that require keeping up with bullshit makes screen scraping seem like maybe not a bad idea...

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
