Explanation

An API (Application Programming Interface) is the standard, structured method for interacting with data from external services and resources. APIs provide authenticated, documented endpoints that return data in a controlled format (e.g., JSON or XML). Web scraping extracts data from web pages in an unstructured way and may violate terms of service. A local database connection script is for internal databases, not external resources. A delta load is a data loading strategy (loading only changed records), not a method for accessing external data.
