Wow, thanks everyone! Didn’t expect so many helpful replies.
So what is data scraping? Got it—it’s like automated copy-pasting with extra steps lol. The legal stuff still seems confusing, but I’ll check robots.txt like some of you said.
Tried Simple Scraper (the Chrome one) and it kinda worked? Pulled some product prices from a store, but it was messy. Maybe I need to tweak settings.
Quick Q: How do you avoid getting blocked? Saw someone mention not spamming requests—how slow should I go?
(Also, big thanks for the tool recs! Gonna play with ParseHub next.)
