Hi, i need help is it possible to make a app that connects to a website and scrapes data from another website.
For example: there is a website called: [https://keywordtool.io/](https://keywordtool.io/) (lets assume they dont have an api)
in the website of [keywordtool.io](http://keywordtool.io) you can type in a keyword and it will spit out a list of keywords that are related.
Can we build an app that has a text input and spits out results by connecting your elemnts in your app to the elements on that website? and spit out the same resluts. I prefer to do this without using the web viewer but to create a clean userinterface that connects with websites in the back like keywordtool io

I could be wrong but I think that’s the whole point of APIs. That there isn’t another way to interface with a website in the way you’re wanting to – to provide input and receive output.
Also, that website has an API. So it’s pretty unethical to try to find a way out of paying for the access they provide.

Oh, I’m sorry. You did mention that was an example. I focused on that specific url. My mistake.

I was saying that there is not a way to do that.
