Bots that don't use API Keys?

In general you have 2 ways to get Data from websites:
1. use the way the website or service offers (e.g. API / Webservices, Downloads, etc.)
2. use a scraper which act like a browser to get the public Part (or private Part if you emulate the login).

Google Selenium Python Twitter for examples.

Happy scraping

Of course there are bots that don't use API's. All you have to do is visit the website like a a normal user would and you can get the same data anyone could. What is it your trying to scrape?
