Oh please. Claiming Google can't publish a giant list is really disingenuous. The question is really if they want to or not.
- SquareWheel 9y agoI didn't say they couldn't. What I said is that such a list wouldn't make as much sense because it would always be out of date. A programmer looks at that problem and sees that an API makes more sense.
- kodablah 9y agoI downloaded the entire list via the API just fine. What is the difference between an API and a download? Answer: authorization control. It doesn't have to be a fixed file on their side...a URL can serve just what the API does like a download. But then they wouldn't know who wanted it.
