It'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
