Is Web Scraping Legal? My Take on Automation and Fair Use

Описание: I got so many viewer comments asking me whether web scraping is legal or not so I thought it would be best to reply with a video! 🎥
Web Scraping is the practice of extracting information from websites with the use of code only. It is widely used for automation testing, marketing, HR, data science (generating databases) and many more!
And even though so many of us use web scraping on a daily basis - there are still many others claiming it's forbidden 🙃

So who's right and who's wrong? Can you get in trouble for it? What is the difference between extracting the same information manually with your mouse and keyboard and programming a bot to scrape it instead?
Click play and find out what I think about it! 😉
