Hey there,

I would like to use railway to get an image from a URL, on a CRON job schedule that gets a new image once per day each weekday.

Can I use railway for this, or does this violate the TS?

Also, I will extract tables from 2 other URLs at the same schedule.

Do these 3rd party services allow you to do that? if so then yes you can do it on Railway.

I can't find any information on the website that says otherwise. No TOS or robot.txt

Then you would likely want to ask them just be sure.
