Is web scraping legal? 🫢😳

so I built a web scraper that logs into LinkedIn searches for jobs in the data science field and then scrapes this job description data everything seemed to be going fine and I was really hoping to just continuously pull this data infinitely into the future until I woke up one morning to check on the status of my bot and found this I was a little pissed apparently LinkedIn identified that I was a bot so I decided to look more into if web scraping is legal and I found this this case was actually on LinkedIn being upset that another company H IQ was scraping its publicly available data and this case is actually now up for review again come to find out they actually specifically ban their members from scraping any data probably should have read that first
