European database laws are also really on the fact that a protected database copy is a copy, whatever the copy process is. Does not matter if an automated process took place or if a crowd take facts one by one, once there is a significant portion of the datas copied (whatever that means) there is a juridical risk.

be wise to directly ask them if they're ok with it.

Running an automated process to access someone's computer in a way that they clearly don't allow is not a good idea.
