For this, I'm thinking we download the json data https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName/master/web_accounts_list.json and write our logic to process the data. We can have a check to re-download this file from time to time.
Also, maintain our own separate data (minimal mostly) and create push changes upstream from time to time.

Ya, I think having our own tested data is a better option, which is why I created the testing issue.

We can add more value that way.

And use their data as fallback. I'm thinking of exporting our data in similar json format.

Also, judging by their commit history, I don't think their data is as updated as we would like it to be.

This needs to be re-evaluated. Their data is being maintained. But maybe not as well as our data.
