On a technical level sure. SPA's should pre-render data before sending it to the client.
The problem is that's a ton of extra work when the client will have to fetch data anyway - so it's difficult to justify the time to management.
EDIT: If their page fetches the data with JS you might actually have an easier time figuring what their API looks like instead of scraping the rendered page. You might find there's more data available than is rendered too.
- leesalminen 7y agoI once showed someone how to use dev tools to see an API request a web app makes and how to recreate it with your own code. He’s since done all sorts of “life hack” automations. Love teaching people this stuff!
