"A web scraper is an API" - is this correct?
Quote from article: "A web scraper is an Application Programming Interface (API) to [...]" But is this correct? Isn't a web scraper more than just an API? -- 194.39.218.10 (talk) 14:58, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Proposal: Adding Grepsr as a notable web scraping platform
Hello,
I’d like to propose including Grepsr as an example of a web scraping platform in the article. Grepsr provides enterprise web scraping solutions, and its technology and impact have been covered in independent sources:
- https://temporal.io/blog/how-grepsr-uses-temporal-to-deliver-scalable-and-reliable-web-data
Could the community consider if adding a reference to Grepsr in the "Tools and platforms" section (or External links) would improve the article’s coverage of practical scraping tools?
Thank you for your consideration. Umang grepsr (talk) 08:48, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
