Hello, I come from a MVC .net background using Entity Framework where in my newbie opinion the backend feels much more hidden.I have a MEVN stack which is a public portal to search through a database of around 1000 contact records. The portal contacts my node API and returns paged results once 3 characters have been entered in the search-box. The site requires no authentication. If anyone where to investigate the network traffic in dev tools they can clearly see the how the API works. Appreciate its a public database, but I don't really want people scrapping my entire database.Is there any way I can prevent someone using my own API to scrap my entire database? Maybe Ip address throttling? Maybe encrypting the data being send to my API?
