"Hey fellow forum members, I'm wondering what the community thinks about using web scraping automation on content sites to gather cryptocurrency data. On one hand, it can be super efficient and useful for staying on top of market trends, but on the other I've seen some sites get pretty upset when they catch people scraping their data. Anyone have any thoughts on the ethics of it all?"

"I gotta say, I've seen some sites get pretty sketchy with their TOS when it comes to scraping, so be cautious if you're thinkin' of automatin' anything. On the other hand, I've used scripts to scrape financial data and it's been a lifesaver for my portfolio tracking. What's the use case here, guys?"
I think scraping websites for coin-related data can be a good way to grab a lot of info quickly, but you gotta be careful not to get blocked. Some content sites have pretty robust anti-scraping measures in place, so it's not always worth the risk. Has anyone else had any success/scrapes with web scraping?
