Yo, scraping vs crawling is like shopping vs making a shopping list. Crawling is making the list (finding all the stores), scraping is grabbing the stuff you want (extracting prices, etc.).
For small projects, scraping is fine—check out tools like Octoparse or ParseHub. But if you’re building something like a search engine, you’ll need both.
Also, watch out for rate limits! Crawling too aggressively can get you blocked.
