I have an idea in regards to generating current lists of electrcians in my state, I am a sales representative and want to speed up the process and learn python.

These lists could be valuable to me and others, as they are up to date - however I was greeted with the below message when I jumped into the site.

Can I scrap this info, I doubt with the way it is worded it would be possible.

Should I walk away and find another way to source current electrical contractors details?

Thanks in advance

John

Check if they have an API first. That's the first step.

This is a simple moral question. You know you're violating the user agreement if you do what you want & are asking us if we think that's okay. Your conscience is obviously chiming in here, otherwise this post wouldn't exist.

Where is your line of ethics that you're going to draw in your business? Only you get to decide that (and, well... if you draw the line poorly enough, sometimes government entities or litigating attorneys step in & draw it for you, haha).

You first do what every developer do.
APIs, developer licenses,etc.


It appears you only have access to the information on that list.
The permissions you have as a developer might be different in some cases from the ones you have as a consumer. The responsibilities are always different, and you need to agree with their terms, etc.
One example is twitter, where even different developers have different responsibilities and need to explicitly say why they need the information.
