Web Scraping


Web scraping is a technique of data collection from web pages, usually performed by a bot. Scraping involves fetching (downloading) the web page, parsing the elements to extract the desired data, and then saving the information in a database for reuse or analysis. Web scraping is used by search engines to index websites and can be employed to monitor online price changes or to mine online data.
