It's going to a website, scraping the data, then uploading it to client endpoints. This is a whole market now since it's really difficult for AI companies to run their own scrapers.

Using IOT devices means YOU get to shoulder the power and bandwidth cost, and since you're coming from an actual IP address, you're less likely to get blocked.

It's not a Keurig at that point, it's just a low power computer with curl installed that can download data from the web.
