Scraping vs Crawling: What’s the Real Difference and When Should You Use Each? Alternatively, if you want so

They do overlap, but here’s how I decide:

Scraping = I know exactly what data I want.
Crawling = I don’t even know all the pages yet.

For prices, def scraping. Check out ScraperAPI to avoid IP bans.

Crawling is more for SEO peeps. Screaming Frog is gold for that.
