The term “scraping” refers to a technique for automatically collecting data from websites. It is an automated process that extracts specific information such as price scraping, product descriptions. This process also extracts customer reviews, availability information, and more from various online retail sites.
This data is then used for various purposes:
- price comparison,
- Competitive Analysis
- the assessment of market trends,
- inventory management,
- strategic decision-making.
Web web scraping of retail prices can be performed using computer programs called “robots” or “bots” that visit targeted websites. They extract relevant data and store it in a database. This data can then be analyzed to gain valuable insights into products, prices, and consumer behavior.
