How to scrape all pages from a website using robot.txt – is it possible? or Can you scrape all pages

Technically, robot.txt *can* help you scrape all pages from a website if it points to a sitemap. But most sites don’t put full sitemaps there.

You could try scraping the robot.txt first, then look for `Sitemap:`. If nothing’s there, you’ll need to crawl the site manually.

Scrapy’s great for that. Or if you’re not into coding, try ParseHub.
