What is web scraping?

[AnnisHayma]

I’ve seen people mention web scraping for data collection, but I’m not fully sure what it means. Can someone explain what web scraping is and what it’s commonly used for?

Web scraping is the process of automatically extracting data from websites using tools or scripts, and it's commonly used for things like market research, price tracking, SEO analysis, and large-scale data collection.
