# ho hum
The theyworkforyou API is really expensive - how does that work then? surely its taxpayer funded info? *doh!*

# The API's just the way to get at the data, not the data itself.
You could scrape it, but I remember the pagination made that too much of an arse when I wanted to do something with it, and it stops the data being live.

Likewise, manually enter data - but that's slow and boring too.
