You are allowed to:

(i) use the API only to inspect only sites and servers whose owners have
given you permission to do so;
---snip------------------------


---snip------------------------
You are not allowed, without our express permission, to:

(i) use the API for commercial purposes;

(ii) use the API on a public web site;

(iii) publish any information received from us via the APIs without the
owner's express permission;

(iv) distribute, proxy, or otherwise make the API available for access
or use by any person or entity other than your authorized employees,
including but not limited to acting as a service bureau or developing a
competing product or service offering.
---snip------------------------


If it goes in, it will need some strong warnings. But I'm not sure it's
worth it.
