Web scraping is the process of automatically extracting data from websites using scripts or tools. It involves sending HTTP requests to web pages, retrieving their HTML content, and parsing it to collect specific information such as text, images, or links. Web scraping is widely used for tasks like price monitoring, data collection for analysis, competitive research, and building datasets for machine learning. However, it often requires handling challenges such as dynamic content, rate limiting, and legal or ethical considerations.
