Sounds like Parler was fusked not scraped from their description.
At an extreme you could fusk shared Google documents. Assuming there's a bug that brings it down from end of the universe timelines, basically you are brute forcing a shared password.
Or is this 'scraping' - ?login=myusername&password=mypassword

- mandelbrotwurst 6y agoThe Wired article this post links to says that "the posts on Parler were simply listed in chronological order: Increase a value in a Parler post url by one, and you'd get the next post that appeared on the site" This sounds like the resources were available by simply enumerating over autoincrementing primary key, so it didn't require much "guessing".
