Web scraping is the automated process of extracting data from websites. At its core, it involves writing code or using specialized tools to gather specific information from web pages, which can then be stored, analyzed, or used for various purposes. Imagine needing to collect product prices from hundreds of e-commerce sites or news headlines from various sources daily; web scraping automates this often-tedious task, turning the vast, unstructured world of the internet into structured, usable data.
