What's the Difference Between Web Scraping vs Crawling? Which One Should You Use? or Web Scraping vs

20 Replies, 889 Views

Honestly, the line between web scraping and crawling blurs sometimes.

I use both for my job—crawl to find URLs, then scrape the data.

For tools:

- Crawling: Apache Nutch (old but reliable)
- Scraping: PyQuery (like BeautifulSoup but with jQuery syntax)

Big sites? Rotate proxies or get wrecked.
