Learning Python (2013)
by Mark Lutz
Although web clients can often parse information in the replies from websites (a technique colorfully known as "screen scraping"), we might go further and provide a more direct way to fetch records on the Web via a web services interface such as SOAP or XML-RPC calls--APIs supported by either Python itself or the third-party open source domain, which generally map data to and from XML format for transmission. To Python scripts, such APIs return data more directly than text embedded in the HTML of a reply page.🏁
