Data scraping is just extracting data from websites automatically. It’s not just copying—it’s structured. Like, pulling only product names + prices from a page and ignoring the rest.
Why? Saves time! Businesses use it for market research, lead gen, etc.
Legal? Depends. Some sites block it (look for robots.txt). Try ParseHub or Scrapy if you’re starting out.
Pro tip: Don’t overload servers (aka don’t spam requests), or you’ll get banned.
