Pure scraping, or pure functionality on Vine Library?
1 points by ladyrassilon 4218 days ago
So, I've written a little python library called Presser, which extracts data from vine urls, via scraping.

Which is all well and good, aside from the fact that I can only extract data from a specific vine via scraping. The rest of the site uses different a structure.

I've worked out all the hidden endpoints I need to access to get the rest of the functionality working, so here's the question, should I leave Presser as is, and not annoy vine (hopefully) or should I make the library fully functional and annoy vine (probably)?
