What is web data scraping?

Web scraping is an automated data collection for marketing, eCommerce, or research needs. This technique is increasingly popular among businesses and freelancers seeking to automate for faster business growth and revenue generation.

Web scraping begins with crafting code tailored to your project or choosing a ready-made scraping tool. Once the scraper is ready, it scans the target website and extracts the relevant information. This selection process is essentially data collection.

Once all necessary data is gathered, the scraper parses and exports it in your chosen format, such as JSON, CSV, or XLSX.
