In my case, I have both; the API isn't one particularly apt for user authentication (i.e. I'm not looking at limiting users to a somehow pre-accredited group) but more for *validation*, in a more or less trivial sense. The thing is, as I'm essentially seeing that "trivial" doesn't exist, the API is going to be axed, even though I was trying to avoid that.
As to the scraping issue, you're quite right; the solution is a walled garden. Even so, the "big three" are fingerprinted so as to exclude non-SE access, as well as access to unauthorized bits (fortunately, the "big three" are quite tolerant now toward getting smacked with a 403). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
