Web Scraping

The automated extraction of structured data from websites.

Full definition

Web scraping is the process of programmatically pulling data from websites and transforming it into structured formats like CSV or JSON. Modern web scraping platforms handle the technical complexity (proxies, rate limits, anti-bot measures) so users can extract data without writing code. Common use cases include lead generation, price monitoring, content aggregation, and market research.
