I'm unsure where to ask, but I am currently creating a chatbot trained on data scraped from the CK3 Wiki.

There are a couple of things I'm wondering:
1. Is there a better way to get the data? Like API access or something of the sort? As far as I know, scraping can be taxing on servers, but I only intend to scrape a few pages.
2. Are there any legal considerations or things to do?

Will continue to work on the project in the coming weeks, so if anyone has any concerns, let me know.

Hi there,

I won't answer on the legal matter as that's for the legal department.

I will note that we are not fond of this as previous attempts created noticable slow-downs affecting other users' experience (which in turn lead to us required us to act accordingly).
