Web Scraping
Web scraping is the process of automatically extracting data from websites. This technique typically involves using software tools or scripts to navigate web pages, retrieve the underlying HTML content, and parse the data of interest, such as text, images, and other elements. The extracted data can then be used for various purposes, including data analysis, market research, lead generation, and more. Web scraping can be performed through different methods, such as using programming languages (like Python with libraries such as Beautiful Soup or Scrapy), browser extensions, or dedicated scraping services. While web scraping is a powerful tool for gathering information, it is important to consider legal and ethical aspects, as some websites may have terms of service that prohibit automated data collection.
