Check amazon api T&C, also try to do the same with Craigslist and see how long you they will let you do it. scraping data is always a shady business if you do it without a permission of content owner

It is anything but shady. They can send you a C&D or file a suit and seek injunction but there is no way they can get you in trouble with the law for scraping publicly available data.

I don't need to check the T&C to view the page.

If you’re scraping.. you’re not using the API.
