Oh right, they just used the API.

Don't they use the api?

us0r | karma 4679 | avg karma 6.44 · | 2014-11-04 11:59:10

They pretty much have an API for everything now.

DavidGuan | karma 6 | avg karma 0.4 · | 2016-07-05 10:05:10

No, they provided the data from their own API.

_boffin_ | karma 738 | avg karma 1.7 · | 2024-01-04 15:16:56

They're able to utilize APIs

tingletech | karma 2326 | avg karma 3.11 · | 2020-01-06 04:31:46+00:00

Did they copy the API, or, are they using open source software to implement the API?

chillfox | karma 2053 | avg karma 2.44 · | 2023-02-28 05:19:13

Yep, they have an API.

krapp | karma 17552 | avg karma 1.17 · | 2022-09-12 03:36:35

I was referring to the API.

rimliu | karma 991 | avg karma 0.51 · | 2020-06-22 18:53:21

Huh? They have dedicated API.

theamk | karma 6529 | avg karma 2.35 · | 2023-07-04 14:03:03

I am pretty sure they use no API at all, all the processing is local.

rad_gruchalski | karma 4111 | avg karma 1.58 · | 2022-06-01 11:41:17

Through an API, really.

hattmall | karma 1806 | avg karma 1.9 · | 2022-02-12 08:46:27

So is it correct that this was just using the API itself?? Like sort of an API proxy??

hcknwscommenter | karma 1478 | avg karma 2.07 · | 2018-03-27 22:02:41+00:00

But they didn't just write their own APIs. They copied them. Thousands of them.

ajcoll5 | karma 83 | avg karma 4.61 · | 2023-05-31 18:18:54

Actually, perfect timing. It doesn't use the official API.

ykevinator | karma -17 | avg karma -0.02 · | 2019-06-09 17:06:06

They also have an api

jiggawatts | karma 26854 | avg karma 5.63 · | 2020-12-13 20:29:47+00:00

I'm curious: What were people using this API for exactly?

jeremyrwelch | karma 729 | avg karma 4.93 · | 2011-02-12 17:22:42

Wasn't aware they had an official API?

mahathu | karma 2196 | avg karma 5.13 · | 2023-03-01 18:58:16

Wasn't there an API before?

tedsanders | karma 3019 | avg karma 3.36 · | 2024-01-10 23:45:39

Just the API.

tester457 | karma 571 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2023-01-16 22:13:37

Using the api is better.
