Hey! Great question—web scraping vs crawling can be super confusing at first.

Crawling is like sending out a bot to explore and map websites (like Google does). Scraping is when you actually pull the data you need from those pages.

For your project, you’ll probably need both: a crawler to find the product pages and a scraper to extract the details. Tools like Scrapy (Python) are great for this since they handle both.

If you’re not into coding, check out Octoparse or ParseHub—they’re more user-friendly for scraping.
