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

Robots.txt is more of a guideline than a rule—some scrapers ignore it, but it’s bad etiquette. If you’re ethical about it, use the disallowed paths to *avoid* scraping those pages.

To scrape all pages from a website, you’d need a crawler that follows every link. Tools like Octoparse or ParseHub can do this visually, no coding needed.

But fair warning: if the site’s big, you’ll need rate limiting or proxies. Otherwise, you’ll get IP-banned real quick.
