> it's too expensive to maintain I would love to hear someone elaborate on this part. The API returns the same information as you get from the HTML interface right, but structured? If the API and the website had the same traffic, then wouldn't the HTML part (which is more complex I guess), but more expensive? If the API disappeared, wouldn't the HTML rendering require the same infrastructure? I'm not clear on how maintaining the API adds much overhead, except maybe compatibility inertia because it's a public interface. But infrastructure-wise?
