What is API scraping?

API stands for ‘application programming interface’. An API provides a structured way for developers to create programs that can be integrated with other programs or applications.

In the context of web data scraping, you can think of an API as a database interface that’s pretending to be a website. For example, a sports data API might have a URL like some-sports-api.com/getscores?team=some-team - that's like saying "run the get-scores function where the team argument is 'some-team'" so you can get some-team's scores.

API scraping typically returns data in a JSON format. Many APIs will have packages in most major programming languages that will build the requests using standard syntax for the language.
