Web Scraping
Web scraping is the art and engineering of programmatically extracting data from websites — and the modern web makes it harder every year. JavaScript-rendered single-page apps, anti-bot defenses, rate limiting, authenticated content, and ever-shifting page structures mean the toolkit has evolved from simple HTTP fetches to full browser automation paired with intelligent parsing. This category covers the canonical concepts: what a web scraping API is, how scraping behind authentication works, how websites detect scrapers and how anti-scraping infrastructure responds, dynamic-content rendering, scraping for retrieval-augmented generation, and the practical trade-offs between DIY and managed approaches. Whether you're building data pipelines, monitoring competitors, or feeding an LLM, these terms define the space.
