You're right... I went off-lane there. It makes total sense of course since there is a demand for data, and clearly, just a minority of the people can just scrape everything at will, even if it sounds like kids play to me. And actually, it all makes sense now, since pay walling your own API is just throwing some competition to scrapers, which is totally legit. Sometimes a simple question can do a good deed, thank you:)

Ha, no worries. I ask because I've also contemplated that kind of thing and realized that I was chasing my own tail perhaps.
