Is it possible to scrape all pages of a website using robots.txt? or How to scrape all pages of a web

robots.txt is more like a "please don’t" list than a hard rule. You *can* scrape all pages website robots.txt doesn’t block, but some sites might still send a cease-and-desist if you go wild.

For tools, try Octoparse or Screaming Frog. They’re solid for crawling and respect limits.

And yeah, crawl-delay is a must unless you wanna get IP-banned lol.

Legal stuff? Consult a lawyer if it’s big-scale. Otherwise, small projects are usually fine.
