Recently I had an idea on creating an app from a few undocumented api i had found.
Let's suppose I created an reddit app with features and customization abilities. Is is illegal? Can I createit and make it open source (available on Github only) ?

1Does this answer your question? Is scraping a database by an undocumented API endpoint illegal?– PhilippCommented Sep 24, 2020 at 11:00

1Despite the legal problems you should also be aware of practical problems. An undocumented API can change or disappear at any time.– PhilippCommented Sep 24, 2020 at 11:02

@Philipp I'd update it. And considering if it's a big company, they wouldn't do it.– Rakesh ChowdhuryCommented Sep 24, 2020 at 11:04

@Philipp Thanks. Thats actually a relevant question, but there's little difference. I'm not commercially exporting it. I would update my question to fit the requirements.– Rakesh ChowdhuryCommented Sep 24, 2020 at 11:07
