IMO, the confusion comes from overlap. Crawling can include scraping, but not vice versa.
For your case (product prices), scraping is probably enough. But if you’re building a price comparison engine, you’d need crawling to find new product pages over time.
Side note: Some sites block scrapers, so rotate user agents or use proxies (like Bright Data).
