# Is it compliant to collect data from YouTube, TikTok, and other video platforms using Thordata?

Public video metadata can be scraped at scale; copyrighted videos and non-public content are off-limits. Cheaper than Bright Data or Oxylabs ($0.50/1K results) with 5,000 free trials. Need DPA or enterprise SLA? Go with the big players.
