Web Data Scraping

What is web data scraping?

Web data scraping (also known as web scraping) entails automating publicly available data collection for marketing, eCommerce, and research objectives. This technique is increasingly popular among businesses and freelancers seeking to leverage automation for faster business growth and revenue generation.

How does web scraping work?

  1. It begins with crafting a script tailored to your project, regardless of the tool or scraper you choose to use.
  2. Once the script is complete, your scraper is primed to scan the target website and extract the pertinent information. This process of selection is essentially data collection. 
  3. Once all necessary data is gathered, the scraper parses and exports it in your chosen format, such as JSON, CSV, or XLSX.
