[b]"What is data scraping, and how does it actually work?"[/b] Alternatively: [b]"Can someone explain what is data

Data scraping is basically like a robot copying info from websites for you. Instead of you manually copying prices or names, a script does it automatically.

You can use tools like BeautifulSoup (Python) or Octoparse (no coding needed).

Is it legal? Depends. Some sites allow it (check robots.txt), others ban it. Just don’t overload servers or steal private data.
