Data gathering
Suppliers should not prevent data gathering for (non-commercial) TDM from taking place and the TDM exception cannot be overridden by contract or licensing. But suppliers can make it difficult:
“Publishers and content providers are able to apply reasonable measures to maintain their network security or stability so long as these measures do not prevent or unreasonably restrict a researcher’s ability to make the copies they need to make for their text and data mining. Contract terms that stop researchers making copies of works to which they have lawful access in order to carry out a text and data mining analysis will be unenforceable.”

Despite this - in certain instances, you may need to explore API options.
