Web scraping is the process of extracting data from websites, typically using automated processes like bots or web crawlers. This data can be gathered and copied into a local database or spreadsheet for later analysis. Web scraping is used in various applications such as web indexing, data mining, price comparison, and monitoring online presence. However, some websites have measures in place to prevent web scraping, leading to the development of techniques that simulate human browsing to bypass these restrictions.
