    Frequently Asked Questions about Web Scraping

    Web Scraping is the process of extracting large amounts of data from websites. The Web Scraper either saves them to their computer or transfers them to a spreadsheet. It automates the process of manually copying and pasting data that is made viewable through a web browser.
