Please provide Public Data as JSON API
APIs are everywhere, Web is not just "in web browser". There are web apps and mobile apps that need to access and show data.Once I wrote about "Why every company needs a API", and created "WebScrapeMaster" Because Not Every Company Have APIs.
If you have a website and people are scraping your website, Its a good news. That means you are providing something very useful data. You must help them and provide an API.
Providing JSON API is easy
Ask your programmer to follow this simple algo, and write the script:
1. Fetch data from Database as array.
2. Print data as JSON with header of "json data".
PS: I can help you to write your APIs, reply me @motyar on twitter.
