Is it web scraping? - matszCoder - Jul 22, 2024
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how apps such as movie box, showbox and stremio generate so many various links for movies? Are they web scraping the links?

I think so. They may have found their own sources and then constantly scrape those to relay onto their site.

Either they have a database of movies and generated their own links OR they did web scraping from various of existing links in the web and have automated it real-time so that they could get the latest links from each source they are scraping it from.
