Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs the use of APIClaw's data collection and intelligence services. By using APIClaw, you agree to comply with this policy.

1. About APIClaw

APIClaw is an agent-directed tool that collects and analyzes publicly available information on demand. APIClaw provides two layers of capability:

• Data Collection: Agent-directed data collection from web sources
• Domain Intelligence: Pre-processed, structured intelligence for e-commerce (with more verticals planned)

2. Permitted Uses

• Product research and market analysis using ASINs, keywords, or categories you specify
• Competitive intelligence for your own business operations
• Integration into AI agent workflows for automated research and monitoring
• Academic research and data analysis using publicly available information
• Building applications that consume APIClaw API responses

3. Prohibited Uses

• Redistributing or reselling raw API response data to third parties
• Using data for personal identification, profiling, or marketing harassment of individuals
• Training AI/ML models on exported data without explicit written permission
• Circumventing rate limits, authentication controls, or other platform safeguards
• Any use that violates applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights
• Misrepresenting APIClaw data as originating from or endorsed by any e-commerce platform

4. Data Handling

APIClaw delivers a mix of AI-generated insights, structured intelligence, aggregate statistics, and — depending on the endpoint and subscription tier — underlying review and product content sourced from public pages. The obligations in Section 3 apply to all returned content, regardless of which endpoint or surface produced it. Customers must additionally honour the copyright, database rights, and terms of service of the source platforms from which the content originates.

APIClaw does not grant customers any rights in third-party content beyond those they may already enjoy under applicable law.

5. Enforcement

Violation of this AUP may result in suspension or termination of API access. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
