"A web scraper is an API" - is this correct?
Quote from article: "A web scraper is an Application Programming Interface (API) to [...]" But is this correct? Isn't a web scraper more than just an API? -- 194.39.218.10 (talk) 14:58, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- A web scraper is generally a program. The API aspect in the article is misleading. Have removed it. Jmccormac (talk) 07:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
