What’s the difference between using an API and web scraping?
APIs provide structured data access, while web scraping extracts data from web pages directly.
Which method is more reliable for data collection?
APIs are generally more reliable as they are designed for data access, while web scraping can break if the website changes.
Are there any legal issues with web scraping?
Yes, web scraping can lead to legal issues if it violates a website's terms of service or copyright laws.
Can you give me examples of when to use each method?
Use APIs for stable data needs like weather data, and web scraping for one-time data extraction from sites without APIs.
