      You don’t need APIs to bot. APIs provide a “official” method and make it easier.

      You can automate web scrapers and bots without APIs since forever.

        True, but it was a selling point of the API changes if I remember correctly. Some insane fanboys attacked everyone with stupid arguments like that one when you were critical of the changes. That drove me away even faster.
