Hi Friends

Can I republish the content extracted via web crawling?

Republishing content needs to have consent from the owner. Though you can scrape text content from websites that allow bots, you still need to use this data in a way that does not infringe the copyrights of the publisher.

Web scraping and crawling aren't illegal by themselves. After all, you could scrape or crawl your own website, without a hitch.

The problem arises when you scrape or crawl the website of somebody else, without obtaining their prior written permission, or in disregard of their Terms of Service (ToS). You're essentially putting yourself in a vulnerable position.
