Is scraping Google+ pages/comments/notifications via cURL legal?

The limitations of the Google+ API have just put a hold on a little project I am working on.

I can achieve what I need with a basic cURL script (login to Google+ Page, scrape page, parse data) but I was just wondering if this is allowed?

(yes the script will break whenever they update G+, I can live with that)

A search on "are you allowed to login to google with curl" produces lots of results. So it seems lots of people are doing it, just wondering if anyone knows if it is "really" allowed?
