Web Scraping vs Crawling: What's the Real Difference and When to Use Each? or Web Scraping vs Crawlin

If you're still fuzzy on web scraping vs crawling, think of it like this:

Crawling = reading the menu
Scraping = ordering the food

For tools, I’d recommend:
- Crawling: Apache Nutch (if you’re hardcore)
- Scraping: Puppeteer (for JS sites)

But fair warning—always check robots.txt unless you wanna get blocked.
