Well he isn't advocating that you parse html here. I thought that he was originally too, but later on you'll see he is talking about using the same URI's and content negotation.
- cognivore 13y agoIsn't that what he's advocating when he says: "...a developer can just write a script to convert the templated HTML into JSON. It’s not hard: the HTML version is open." The link makes me think so.
- girvo 13y agoThat is his point about keys: why use them, when you don't need them for viewing the data via HTML? Answer: because API's can do more, normally.
- ville 13y agoI didn't understand it as advocating scraping, just a reasoning why API keys are useless in case you are serving the same content as HTML without requiring a key.
