But what about messages? When you say “scraper” what would that look like in the context of receiving and sending direct messages from one platform to another when one of the platforms closes their API?
Officially you can’t without API. Unofficially the scraper could login with the users password and send messages on the other platform, as long as there is no 2FA or captchas in the way.
As fast as I remember Facebook did ask for the users Myspace password to “import” their data.
You don’t need llm to import posts from another website, just an API or scraper to fetch them. Much cheaper, faster and more reliable.

Doesn’t matter. As long as sent and received messages are shown in the accounts inbox you can parse them back out.
But how do you then reply to those posts back into the platform of origination from the outside platform?
