Great breakdown! I used to mix up web scraping vs web crawling too until I started using Scrapy. It’s a Python framework that does both, but you gotta configure it right.
For crawling, it’s awesome for indexing, but if you need data extraction, you’ll need to add parsers.
Anyone tried BeautifulSoup for scraping? Way simpler for pulling specific data.
