Can I spider the site?

The information here can be used in your own project. If you do that you must prominently note where the original data came from and provide an active link to the site (at the http://tsort.info/ address). If you want to use this data without meeting these requirement you can if you pay the licence fee (contact us for details). The real reason for placing this restriction is that the data is continually being corrected and new charts are being added.

At the moment you may scrape the site, provided your spidering does not impose too heavy a burden on the server or network. If the limited resources start being stretched then this position may change.

However you would probably find it easier and more useful to grab the CSV File. This Excel compatible file lists all the songs and albums on the site with their scores and positions. If making this file available imposes too heavy a burden it may be removed in future.
