Acceptable Use Policy
Quarry is a web-data API for retrieving publicly available web pages — including pages served behind anti-bot / anti-automation systems. By using the service you agree to the terms below. You are responsible for ensuring your use is lawful in your and the target's jurisdiction.
What Quarry does
To reach public pages that block automated clients, Quarry may present a real-browser network fingerprint, render pages in a stealth browser, and allow managed JavaScript challenges (e.g. Cloudflare) to complete, reusing the short-lived clearance cookies the site issues. Quarry does not solve interactive CAPTCHA puzzles and does not bypass authentication.
You may not use Quarry to
- Access anything non-public — content behind a login, password, paywall, account, or other authorization control. No credential use, session replay, token or paywall circumvention, or identity-based access-control / rate-limit evasion.
- Violate applicable law — including computer-misuse / unauthorized-access law (e.g. the U.S. CFAA and equivalents), data-protection law (e.g. GDPR/CCPA), and IP law.
- Collect personal data unlawfully, or for harassment, doxxing, spam, profiling, or surveillance.
- Overload or disrupt a target (DoS / abusive request volumes) or test infrastructure you are not authorized to test.
- Infringe copyright or misappropriate protected content or databases.
Responsible defaults
robots.txtis honored by default; overriding it is your responsibility.- Per-target rate limiting is applied; do not attempt to defeat it.
- We operate an SSRF guard and a configurable domain denylist.
The legality of web scraping depends on what you access, how, and where. Accessing publicly available data is treated very differently from bypassing authentication under laws like the CFAA — but rules vary by jurisdiction and by target terms. You control your requests and bear responsibility for them.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this policy. This policy is provided for transparency and is not legal advice.
