Might be a good use-case to use something like this extension to auto-build an API spec whilst browsing a website:

whoa that's sick, thanks for sharing

I think this is a funny joke about how HTTP is technically an API. However, with more and more website fighting back against scraping (in part due to LLMs), I suspect explicit APIs are going to become increasingly important and useful.

This made me wonder why websites would be against scraping, at least as long as the content has DoS protection behind an edge cache. Aside from the copyright/etc issues.

Then it made me wonder, since AWS/cloudflare already have ML products and have data stored in edge caches already, if they don’t/couldn’t train directly from the caches?

can you share them?
