>>107619337>unlawfulHow is it unlawful to retrieve text data from publicly available websites lmao? Seeing how scraping makes companies so mad makes me want to do it.
The hypocrisy is too thick to even be cut now.
>>107619337>be told you can't scrape>do it anyway>surprised you're gonna get plapped by tyrone
>>107619337the chutzpah..
>>107619337>SerpApi deceptively takes content that Google licenses from others (like images that appear in Knowledge Panels, real-time data in Search features and much more), and then resells it for a fee. In doing so, it willfully disregards the rights and directives of websites and providers whose content appears in Search.Licensed content Google has licensed from other is being resold to others and making profit as middle man.
>>107619376Its a safety and security hazard. Google is just trying to protect everyones data and make the net safe and secure
>>107619445>nooo you can't just build your entire business off scraping with reckless abandon>rules for thee but not for mecan't believe i used to respect friends waging for those evil cuntsi will continue watching with ublock at maximum resolution regardless of the window size

>>107619514It's sarcasm you baka
>>107619337So fucking retarded and gay. If you don't want your content on the internet, maybe don't post it on the fucking internet?
>>107619487HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>107619526Exactly, they built their business doing this, and then immediately turned around and lobbied for legislation so that no one else could do what they did because of "digital rightsholders" or some other gay shit. Part of the reason it's so hard to compete with Google is that Google basically made being competition illegal.
>>107619564and why do you care exactly?
>it cries out in pain as it strikes you
>>107619564Why wouldn't they?
is there an affordable search api that doesn't suck? 250 for free isn't enough and $75/mo is a lot of money
