What is data scraping? Purpose and examples of data scraping

Purpose of data scraping

Scraping can collect information on the Internet and process the acquired information. The more detailed the data is extracted, the deeper the data analysis will be.

Data scraping tools

There are many web scraping tools developed to get the information you need on your website. ScrapeStorm is a web scraping tool based on artificial intelligence. It does not require programming and scrapes data from most websites. 1-Click automatically extracts data from your website.

Grasp popular topics

Video media such as TikTok and Instagram have been popular for the past few years. However, for video creators, updating the topic is also quite fast. At such times, data collection plays a role in quickly grasping the topics that are currently in fashion. Collect popular topics and ideas, or collect data such as comments and views.

Marketing

Since online shopping has been welcomed by people, Amazon, Yahoo! Shopping, Rakuten Ichiba, and various online shopping sites enter people’s daily lives. For sellers, collecting data such as product reviews and overall scores is important for marketing. It is also important to compare the prices of products on each online shopping site. Timely adjustment of prices will surely not separate into data collection.

Finance

A large amount of data is required for investments such as real estate investment, investment trusts, and stock prices. It can be very difficult to predict a fast-moving market. It may be useful for financial investment by collecting and analyzing data since several months.

This time, we will introduce examples of use in video media, marketing, etc., but of course, there are only the above areas. One thing to note is that it is against the law to send a malicious request by scraping! Please use it correctly to discuss Robots and comply with the law.
