API and the ToS: is batch downloading against ToS?Posted on: 09/02/19 12:56AM
The question is in the title: If I was to use the API to make a request for downloading the results of a query would that be a breach of this line in the ToS?
- You will not use any automated process to retrieve or index any portion of the site or site contents, with the exception of public search engines.
And if so, is it possible to apply for a exception? I'm assuming it is a breach and didn't want to be a dick and just start parsing things willy nilly.
