#132I typed "Introduction to Real Analysis by Bartle" and I got: Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by JK Rowling Topology by James R Munkres and so on..

They have nothing to do with mathematics but everything to do with being extremely popular books.
Most people that have read a mathematics textbook have also read and enjoyed Harry Potter.
Given you have enjoyed drinking water and breathing in the past, there is a high likelihood that you will enjoy watching the Star Wars films.

Fairly meaningless in this day and age. Also IIRC scraping legality depends heavily on jurisdiction. Some places take a more permissive view of accessing publicly available information, even if a site's TOS forbids bots.
In the US there’s a major precedent [0] which held that scraping public-facing pages isn’t a CFAA "unauthorized access" issue. That’s a big part of why we’ve seen entire venture-backed scraping companies pop up - it’s not considered hacking if the data is already public.
