    Is it any different for an “API”? I don’t think there’s a very big difference between an HTTP endpoint that returns HTML and an HTTP endpoint that returns JSON.

      In what way?

      HTML definitely provides more overhead than json if you only care about the data.

        Legally. OC stated that NewPipe doesn’t worry about legal threats because they scrape instead of using an official API.
