I didn't know before that someone can scrape or access HN's API to retrieve it contents. Is is actually legal?

I'm so fascinated by the news here that I haven't yet figured out how the site works so far.

There is an official HN API - no need to scrape. :-)

I found a Firefox add-on here that is similar to this site:
