From my understanding new pipe falls back to internal API or web scraping if the official API fails. Is skytube doing the same thing? Just checking what are the options available out there and see how are they different from each other.
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#description
NewPipe works by fetching the required data from the official API (e.g. PeerTube) of the service you’re using. If the official API is restricted (e.g. YouTube) for our purposes, or is proprietary, the app parses the website or uses an internal API instead. This means that you don’t need an account on any service to use NewPipe.
I see they are using peertube API. So do they web scrape?
