Web scraping vs web crawling is one of those things that seems obvious once you get it but is super confusing at first.
I’ve used both for e-commerce:
- Scraping: Pull competitor prices (Python + Requests).
- Crawling: Map out all product categories (Scrapy).
Biggest headache? CAPTCHAs. Rotating proxies are a must.
