I *think* as long as you're logged in as you, and they are your contacts, I don't see why not - because you could essentially go through and write each one down on paper, or copy/paste the data. So getting your own bot to do it doesn't seem that bad? One thing however, the email addresses are rendered in graphical form on profile pages, so a bit of OCR would be required. But do share your results if you try it.
