If you're in the US: you might run afoul of the CFAA, which is overly broad. If you're elsewhere: you're probably fine.

But seriously, ask a lawyer if you're concerned about this. It's not likely that you'll get qualified advice on here.

Thanks joepie91. Yeah I'm planning on consulting with an attorney before launching it.

I mean there are tons of services and even extensions doing the same thing already, but I just want to make sure legally I'm ok. Good advice mate :)
