The same fields also appear on a public real estate listing site whose terms of use prohibit automated collection. Which course is better?
- A) Scrape the listing site, since data shown on a public page are free to use
- B) Scrape the listing site, since scraped values are checked by the site's owner
- C) Use either source, since an API and a scraper return equally reliable fields
- D) Use the licensed API, whose fields are defined and whose terms allow the use
