in reply to web scrape using API and the regular web scrape

++Corion's answer but I'm not sure that's what the OP was talking about. If you're using the API of a website, then I would not call it a 'scrape.' trample666, where you asking about a site's API or using a module such as WWW::Mechanize? The way you phrased the question leaves a lot open to interpretation

    Difference between scraping a normal website using, for example API's provided by google and scraping a website without using API's (maybe using mech, post or get like u said).

    Also should the website that I am scraping be API enabled(I mean should it also provide API services) when I use API's to scrape???
