for this part, "scrape the web", what is the web part, is it other e-commerce sites including amazon and so on? do you foresee any issues/risks about that?


Yes, mainly other e-commerce stores. Larger sites like Amazon & Alibaba tend to be extra effective to scrape since they already have good metadata that we can draw on. We don't currently foresee any major risks, the tide seems to turn more and more towards a free web in that sense https://towardsdatascience.com/web-scraping-is-now-legal-6bf...
