Building an API that pulls data across 13 social platforms, and the thing that's eaten the most engineering time isn't the scraping itself, it's how differently every platform breaks. Rate limits that change without notice, auth flows that expire silently, structured data one week and a wall of JS the next.
Curious what's bitten other builders here. Which platform has been the worst to depend on, and what did you end up doing about it?
