Legality highly depends on where you are.
In the US, scraping of public data is a fair use exception protected by the first. If you have to sign in to access the data, you then might be bound by the ToS.
In Europe, scraping of public data can be against several laws. Notably GDPR, the new copyright law, and you might be infringing copyrights on database as defined by the CNIL.
- Ros2 7y agoHey just registered, really neat. You don't support 'popular times' results for local places. This may not even exist in your area so you may not be aware of it. I've always really wanted to make a terminal app to keep track of how busy my local places are. Not saying I'd become a customer who would keep the lights on or anything like that, but at the very least it would make a cool demo.
- malshe 7y agoThanks a lot! We are based in the US. I will get in touch with you.
- cookiecaper 7y agoHis advice is incorrect. Scraping of public data is by no stretch of the imagination "protected by the First".
