What is Data Scraping?
Data Scraping is collecting large amounts of data from websites, APIs, and other online sources efficiently and at scale through off-the-shelf, No Code, Low Code, or custom tools. The scraped data is typically the input for processes such as market research, data analysis, competitive intelligence, and artificial intelligence training.
How does Data Scraping work?
Depending on the data sources of interest, data scraping techniques employ a mix of off-the-shelf software, direct communication with servers, programmatic API calls, scripts, and web browser automation to collect large amounts of data. The data may need to be validated, enriched, and engineered into another shape before storing it in its destination format.
Data scraping is used for a variety of purposes, for instance:
- Market research - collecting a list of menu prices from a food ordering aggregator.
- Lead generation - scraping the contact details of business decision-makers from a market segment.
- Data science - gathering statistics from multiple data sources for statistical analysis and modeling.
- Sentiment Analysis - analyzing a brand's customer reviews and product sentiment.
- Competitive intelligence - collecting website content for global competitors for a comparative study through AI.
