- mmerlin 5y agoIt's legal to scrape public websites. And if you can read Python you have nothing to fear Read the source before you blindly run anything! the /scrapers/ folder in particular e.g. https://github.com/aapatre/Automatic-Udemy-Course-Enroller-GET-PAID-UDEMY-COURSES-for-FREE/blob/master/udemy_enroller/scrapers/coursevania.py https://github.com/aapatre/Automatic-Udemy-Course-Enroller-G... If it was closed source or if you are ultra paranoid there is plenty more you can do for safety e.g. - run the code in a disposable VM - run the code one step at a time, maybe in debug mode, or a Jupyter notebook for example - Wireshark etc etc
