"Scraping vs Crawling – What’s the actual diff? When to use which?"

Hey guys, been digging into this whole scraping vs crawling thing and tbh, it’s kinda confusing at first.

From what I get, crawling is like a bot browsing the web, indexing pages (think Google). Scraping is more about pulling specific data from those pages, like prices or emails.

But when do u actually use one over the other? Like, if u just need data from a few pages, scraping seems faster. But if u wanna map out a whole site, crawling’s the way?

Kinda curious how others handle this. Any tips or gotchas? Also, anyone ever get blocked doing either? Lol.

Thanks!
