I need data from a website. It is viable to create an API that scrapes the website and returns the data on an endpoint?
Didn't get a chance to reply earlier but depending on what you're trying to do, you might want a web crawler. I have a crawler on Github that I built for scraping in instances where someone doesn't have an API. If you go this route, I suggest doing it as a background task and go off cached data.

Recursion needed in small crawler
This may be overkill but I have library out there for building web crawlers. Spidey is the library. I'm not suggesting you use it but you could look at it for ideas. It uses a multithreaded, producer/consumer approach that avoids recursion and stack overflow issues. Use a queue, pull from the queue for each url, push new urls on when you find them. Do need to optimize my code a bit more but if it helps at all. But your issue is most likely the fact that you're finding a link to the page you are currently on. HashSet or List of found URLs would solve the issue.
