Am I allowed to use databases (or other data storage) for large amounts of data?
-
This might be a silly question, but I’m not planning to do this unless I have permission since this might have big consequences.
So to explain, I had an idea of making my own search engine and web crawler using CreatiCode, however, instead of relying heavily on Google or another search engine to get information, I’d store lots of useful information in a database and when the user asks for it, the database will be searched.
I would make the web crawler read one page, obtain some information, and then repeat the process and branch out from there by searching more links and then it’d be pretty big depending on how useful the first source was (I’d probably make it a link to an article on my website that has links to like 20 unique links on it). It would be automated like that and I’d also review the content but also automating that by flagging content it thinks is inappropriate and then I check it and most times I could just clear out the whole list because AI usually isn’t wrong with determining if something is bad or not.
And this method most likely will use like over 1000 database rows.
Am I allowed to do this? I know it’s doable however I don’t want to damage your guy’s systems or be the reason for an outage. It would also make me feel bad because that’s just taking advantage on a super extreme level of a free service (that I like) without paying. Would this be justifed/allowed if I pay for CreatiCode premium?

The database blocks have limits on the number of rows. For your use case, probably a better storage is Google Sheets. You can store much more data there.
