Answers / Legal, jurisdiction & scope
Is it legal to scrape a website against its Terms of Service?
Scraping against a site's Terms of Service isn't automatically a crime, but it can breach a contract you agreed to, and that exposure depends on how the terms were presented and your jurisdiction. Courts have split on it. The safe posture is to detect whether a site asserts contractual scraping limits and record what you found before you proceed. Not legal advice.
