Data scraping is not only to scrounge or extract data from websites but extracting data in an organized structured format so that it can be used for data analysis, collecting business data, enabling researchers and businesses to gain better insights and make informed choices etc. Since internet is the biggest storehouse of data but the data available on the web cannot be directly used for data analysis purposes and other techniques because of its unstructured form and this can be one of the biggest challenge users need to overcome in order to gain valuable information within a limited time frame. The process of web scraping requires the usage of machines just as computers to access web, extract data from its pages and then to store the extracted information. Also it is important to be careful and make sure these tools are used correctly because there are some websites that may prohibit website downloading and may even consider web scraping as illegal.
