    fun fact: on the r-site, you can still append .json to the end of any path (before the query params) to get the formatted data

    fun fact 2: on the same site you get a similar json if you grab the script that says id="data" (trivial with jsdom if you run nodejs), eval it in a sandbox (node’s built-in vm package), and look for your passed global object’s $.___r param

    fun fact 3: also on the same site, if you use the old interface it’s full of data tags intended for css, jsdom goes brrr

    fun fact 4: even if they stopped all of this you could use a headless browser and grab the data in flight from the api calls (virgin dom scrubber vs chad api capturer)

    i don’t know much about the t-site and can’t check right now because you can’t even access it the normal way, lol
