Look at the code. It uses a 16-YEAR-OUT-OF-DATE Adobe library.
All the functions do is rotate images in a carousel. They aren't even real numbers, that's why you can't copy them. It's fake counters made out of pictures not data. (Not to mention the US treasury has no public API to pull such data from, anyway).
The main code: https://www.usdebtclock.org/GeneratedItems/CSScriptLib.js
NOT TO MENTION, the site runs Google Ads.
This person is making a fortune on traffic while putting out fake information.
The site is run by CHRONO NUMERIC LABS LLC, which is a fake LLC in Michigan that has the same address as 100s of other fake LLCs.

Ok. dude. you sound like such a fucking idiot noob right now... really. it's like believing snopes.
the debt clock site is a joke entertainment site that has a rough estimate of our debt. maybe.
it's been around since the days of anglefire! when that site was made there was no such thing as an "api".
and nobody ever said 'this is official!'.
It's actually based on a physical sign that was in times square. https://youtu.be/QGqzSjC6n6o

Application Programmable Interface...... literally what do think HTTP is based on....a protocol interface for applications to call.....
The term "application program interface" (without an -ing suffix) is first recorded in a paper called Data structures and techniques for remote computer graphics presented at an AFIPS conference in 1968.[8][6]
Someone's been reading.
Great to see.
You are a cross-eyed fucking retard. Tens of thousands of people think that website is the fucking Federal Reserve or US Treasury, and think some "white hat" at the Fed is leaking "coms". Literally, thousands think it is fucking official. Sterilize yourself immediately before you infect some poor sod with your offspring.
