So, another point of consideration is whether looking at names and pictures so you can personally favorite them constitutes as commercial use. Based on what Eric said, I don't really think so.

It was for a commercial purpose. Not a personal one.

But to be clear, the agreement does allow him API access to view apps and display metadata. Presumably, to build App Store experiences on top of the data. Which could easily include something like stack ranking your favorite apps as a review system, or displaying favorites.

Saying this is scraping is so pedantic, and given that Eric’s company is paying for access to the API, they should kick rocks.
