Web scraping involves extracting data from a specific website. So the scraper is given a URL or keyword to scrape. It loads the HTML code of these web pages or searches the data from the website according to your given keywords and extracts the required data, such as email, phone number, reviews, and much more. The scraper then puts the data into a readable format. It saves data in a database or spreadsheet for further analysis.

You can't add advanced features that need to be out of the browser. 2) Software (Desktop Application) This is downloadable and installable software that you can use to extract data from the website. It has the potential to provide advanced features. You can scrap one or more pages at a time, making it suitable for small to medium-sized projects.
