[b]"What's the Difference Between Web Scraping vs Crawling? Need Help Understanding!"[/b] or [b]"Web Scraping vs C

Short answer: Use both.

Longer answer: Crawling indexes pages (like a librarian), scraping grabs the books (data) you want.

For your project, start with a crawler (like Apache Nutch) to collect links, then use BeautifulSoup (Python) to scrape the product info.

Pro tip: Check robots.txt first—some sites block scraping/crawling.
