Open Web API – Access any website without getting blocked

In plain words

Open Web API is a developer tool that enables access to websites while bypassing blocking restrictions. Launched in 2020, it provides a way for developers to retrieve content from web pages that might otherwise be inaccessible due to geographic limitations, rate limiting, or other blocks.
