Should be a law: if you run a web app that stores user data behind a login, you are required either to allow users to scrape their data (no anti-scraping tech blocking authenticated users) or to provide an API they can use to access it at no additional charge.
It should literally be illegal to lock users data into your site and prevent them from implementing their own automation to access it.
