Web scraping is a technique that pulls certain bits of targeted information from various websites.
This pulling of information can be done on a small or large scale, by either man or software. Data scraping from a fundamental basis requires some knowledge of coding and programming, which is why simply purchasing data scraping software tool off the shelf of your local computer store can be quite convenient.
Sometimes, however, these tools can simply go too far, which is why outsourcing your scraping work to a website scraping company can be far more beneficial than doing it yourself.
