Fury Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 08:26 am Hello Coin Community! I was just wondering if Web Scraping is allowed by NGC. Basically I am a programmer and Web Scraping is when you use data from websites and use them in code! I am making a program where I use the prices of coins in Python (Coding Language) from the NGC website. Let me know! Report this Post to the Staff

Fury Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 09:04 am @T-BOP I see the confusion xd. Web scraping can't be allowed by websites who forbid it. Basically I read the source code for the website and see the value. I use my code to take the value of the coin from the website and use that variable in my code. Basically what I am making is a program to check the value of a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
