Legality will depend on your application abiding by the TOU. The clause of primary concern with a SEO application like this would be, in my mind, the prohibition of automated queries. I am not, however, a legal expert, so you should probably consult one (because they might find more cause for concern).
That said, practically speaking, the AJAX API's result limitations will likely present a insurmountable problem. Namely, the 64-result limitation will be a huge hindrance to effectively finding a site's page rank. Jeremy R.
