A comment on Studio Ghibli API.

I'm confused by the thinking behind things like these. Seems like they should be static data dumps rather then network APIs. (Or why not both?)

An interesting thing to talk about in an interview, for sure.

Exactly what I thought, if it's free can you just give me a dump of your tables? (maybe they are available somewhere else already?)

Because Studio Ghibli continues to make films. So you don't have to 1) know when a new film is released 2) download a new data dump.

1) That's what the If-Modified-Since header is for.

2) It's a bunch of text data; as the link posted in another comment shows, it's less than 50kB uncompressed.
