| Use data | We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes and any external products you build on top of it, in accordance with these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy. [...] The Service is a tool, not a license to use the content it retrieves. [...] You may not use the Service, and you may not allow anyone using your account or API keys to use the Service, to: Violate any applicable law, regulation, court order, or third-party right. Conduct or facilitate any activity that would be unlawful in the jurisdiction where it is carried out or where its effect is felt. Use the Service for fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, or to evade economic sanctions. Build, host, or distribute content sexually exploitative of minors. Any account associated with this activity is terminated and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and applicable authorities. Stalk, harass, surveil, dox, threaten, intimidate, or facilitate violence against any person or group. Build profiles of identifiable individuals for surveillance, dragnet collection, social scoring, or political targeting at scale. Discriminate or facilitate discrimination on the basis of legally protected classes. Produce, distribute, or amplify non-consensual intimate imagery, including synthetic media of real people. Run campaigns intended to deceive voters about an election, ballot measure, or public-health intervention. Harvest personal contact information (email, phone, address, social-media handle, employer) at scale for the purpose of unsolicited messaging, telemarketing, or sale to a third party. Build a "people search" or person-lookup product that aggregates personal information about individuals without a clear lawful basis. Collect personal information of children under 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions where that is the legal threshold). Collect, store, or process protected categories of data (health, financial, government identifiers, biometric, genetic, precise location) where doing so would require regulatory permissions you do not have. ScrapeNest is not configured as a HIPAA business associate, a PCI processor beyond the scope of what Stripe handles directly, or a GLBA-covered financial-information service. Use the Service to attack a target site — for example, credential stuffing, brute-force login attempts, vulnerability scanning, or DDoS amplification. Use the Service to defeat encryption, DRM, or technical-protection measures. Use the Service to access systems, networks, or accounts that you do not have permission to access. The Service may solve bot-detection and rate-limit challenges on public web pages — that is part of the product — but it is not a tool for unauthorized access to private systems. Use the Service to bypass paywalls, login walls, or geo-restrictions in ways that violate the rights of the operator of the gated content. Use outputs from the Service to republish copyrighted content in a way that exceeds the bounds of fair use, fair dealing, or another applicable exception, particularly at scale. Mass-mirror or redistribute paid or subscription-gated content (news articles, academic papers, paywalled databases, premium audio or video, audiobooks). Use the Service to remove copyright, trademark, or attribution notices from retrieved content. Infringe trade secrets, contractual confidentiality obligations, or proprietary information that you are not authorized to access. Generate phishing pages, scam infrastructure, fake-review networks, or content designed to deceive automated detection systems. Produce malware, exploits, or instructions for inflicting physical or digital harm. Plagiarize academic, journalistic, or creative work without attribution. Distribute deceptive synthetic media in a way that violates law or causes foreseeable harm. Resell raw API access in a way that effectively repackages ScrapeNest as a competing scraping API. (Building products and SDKs on top of the Service is encouraged, reselling thin pass-through proxies of our endpoints is not.) Use the Service to reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically copy ScrapeNest's own documentation, dashboard, or marketing site for the purpose of cloning it. Use the Service in a way that is intended to harm the operations or reputation of ScrapeNest itself. |
