Web scraping vs web crawling is like hunting vs foraging.
Crawling hunts for pages (think Googlebot). Scraping picks the data off those pages (like grabbing product details).
For scraping, I love PyQuery (simpler than BeautifulSoup). For crawling, Scrapy is the GOAT.
But seriously, unless you’re building a massive index, scraping is 90% of what you’ll need.
