Data can be a tricky business. One of our customers was really upset at Bloomberg because they offer bundles (like cable TV) while you might be interested in something more specific. And the data endpoint does not offer some columns that are valuable to them.
On the other hand, extracting data from a couple of web pages was both more accurate for them, more reliable and less costly, assuming you can nail down the scraping/storage/filtering part. This latter part is a real challenge when people need data they actually rely on in a business process to make real world decisions, compared to "trends" or "insights" that are rather informative.
