Zillow Terms of Use Violation?
This question is not a rhetorical but is instead quite sincere. Please help me understand Apify's interpretation of Zillow's Terms of Use. Zillow's API Terms of Use and FAQ pages (ridiculously) states that their data is not allowed to be stored but only is allowed to be displayed dynamically to the end user. However, Apify's Zillow Real Estate Scraper does just that by its exporting feature into a variety of file formats. Reference: https://www.zillow.com/howto/api/APITerms.htm

Hello @jg_0110 ,
Here on Discord we cannot provide you a legal advice, please discuss with lawyer. The legality is on the user, not Apify.
Generally, scraping public info without login is ok but has some specifics, this article may give you some ideas https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal
