Web crawling vs scraping is like exploring vs mining.
Crawling explores the web to find pages.
Scraping mines data from those pages.
For your project, if you know the product URLs, just mine (scrape). If not, explore (crawl) first.
Legal stuff? Be polite. Don’t spam requests, and check robots.txt.
Tools: Scrapy for heavy lifting, BeautifulSoup for quick jobs.
