thank you fellas for your comments, they are definitely helpful. for now, i'm finding a way to extract bios (biographies) from twitter, instagram and FB for research purposes; later I plan to scale that up to include other social media platforms (Youtube, LinkedIn, ...)

I am thinking it as use APIs for it (if they exist) or build a crawler to scrape the data.

is it something that can be done without violating any law?
