"Can someone explain what is data scraping in simple terms?"

Hey everyone,

I keep hearing about "what is data scraping" but tbh, I’m still kinda confused. Like, is it just copying data from websites? How does it *actually* work?

From what I gather, it’s basically a way to automatically pull info from sites—like prices, reviews, or contact details—without doing it manually. But how? Do you need special tools or coding skills?

Also, is it legal? I’ve heard mixed things.

Would love a simple breakdown if anyone’s got the time! Thanks in advance

(Ps. If you’ve used it before, what’s your go-to method?)
