ScrapingNinja looks really cool! Just curious ― are there any legal issues with providing a service like that?
Thank you very much.
As long as we ensure that people don't use our service for DDOS purpose, we've been told we should be fine 🤞
Hmm, interesting. Many sites list scraping, crawling, and / or non-human access as violations of their Terms of Service.
For example, see section 8.2(b) of LinkedIn's User Agreement (I list LinkedIn because I know they're a common target for scraping).
Yes, you are right, Linkedin is well known for this.
Well, I am not a lawyer so I'd rather say nothing than saying no-sense.
We plan to do a blog post about this, well-sourced and more detailed than my answers :)
Smart :)
Cool, looking forward to reading that!
What about complying with terms of service for the websites and API platforms your service may scrape?
