Imagine that youve found a site that has a perfect list of some info you need, but the site owner's don't have it in a format you can easily use! This happens a lot, but fortunatley for us, if the data can be retrieved and displayed in a web browser, we can normally request that same data directly through a web call instead!
The problem is that the API endpoints we need to hit may not always be published publically.
For instance, this webpage has a lot of good info on beer, but no great way to export it.
