Everybody? I don’t know how to scrape. Teach me how to “scrape.” What am I missing out on?
In a desktop browser? You can open up the developer tools, go to the network tab, reload a page, right click a network request that looks interesting (like one that gets user posts), copy the fetch request to the clipboard, go to the debugger tab, paste the fetch request there, and jiggle around a couple of variables if you feel like it.
(Or just start your own instance and wait for the data to pour in.)
Obviously I was being hyperbolic (not everyone on Earth can even breathe without assistance) but hopefully you get my point.
