Web scraping is the automated extraction of data from websites, typically done using tools and libraries like Python's BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, or Selenium to parse HTML and pull structured information such as prices, listings, or contact details. It's used by researchers, marketers, and developers to gather data for analysis, price comparison, or lead generation, though it raises legal and ethical considerations around a site's terms of service. Many scraping projects also involve handling rate limits, CAPTCHAs, and dynamic JavaScript-rendered content.
