I've not followed this space. When I did, there were a lot of questions concerning the legality of automated scraping. Have those legal issues been resolved?

As long as you're scraping publicly available data (i.e. not going behind a login) and avoiding copyrightable content and personal data, you should be mostly fine. This article should answer most of the web scraping legality questions: https://www.crawlnow.com/blog/is-web-scraping-legal
