Scraping vs Crawling: What’s the Real Difference and When to Use Each? or Scraping vs Crawling – Whic

Quick tip: If the data’s on one page, scrape. If it’s across *many* pages (and you don’t know URLs), crawl first.

Tools:
- Scraping: BeautifulSoup (easy).
- Crawling: Scrapy (harder but powerful).

P.S. Some sites have APIs—check those before scraping!
