Do you have explicit permission to scrape what you are scraping?

I am scraping comic book covers and converting them to strings from websites that translate them into English (scanlation websites). These websites do not own the images, and neither do I.

That's a pretty big grey area then, do you at least respect rules in robots.txt files? and follow other best practices like have a url or email in the user agent so webmasters can contact you for blacklist requests?

To be honest, I didn’t know about the things you mentioned until now. I am still learning about web development. In my project, I included contact forms and URLs, along with the logos of the websites, so users know where I got the images. Additionally, when a user clicks on an image, they are redirected to the page where the scanlations are hosted.

I created a hub where different scanlations are gathered in one place. I do not receive any monetary benefit from this; it's simply a project to help me get hired.

I would say this is a relatively safe project then, I don't foresee you catching a ban.

Thank you for your response and time. Good night.

No problem!
