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

Web scraping vs crawling is my daily grind.

Crawling first to build a URL list, then scrape the goodies.

Tool stack:

- Crawling: StormCrawler (scalable but complex)
- Scraping: MechanicalSoup (for forms-heavy sites)

Proxies are non-negotiable. BrightData’s worth the $$$.
