Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that has revolutionized how businesses automate their processes. RPA has made it easier and faster to automate mundane and repetitive tasks, freeing employees to focus on more meaningful work. One of the most popular RPA tools is web scraping, which is used to extract data from websites. Web scraping is an effective way to quickly gather data from multiple sources, allowing businesses to make better decisions.

Web scraping can be used for a variety of purposes, such as collecting product prices, monitoring competitor activity, or gathering customer feedback. It can also be used to automate tedious tasks, such as filling out forms or downloading images.
When using RPA for web scraping, businesses can choose from a variety of tools, such as web crawlers, API integrations, and screen scraping. Web crawlers are automated programs that can be used to extract data from websites. API integrations allow businesses to connect to external data sources and extract data from them.
