Etymology

The term 'scraping' in the context of data extraction originates from the computing and programming fields, particularly in the early days of the internet when developers sought methods to automate the gathering of information from web pages. The concept of 'screen scraping' emerged in the 1970s and 1980s to describe the practice of capturing data displayed on computer screens, particularly from systems that lacked interfaces for direct data access. As the web evolved and grew more complex, the need for sophisticated scraping techniques became clear, leading to the development of various tools and programming libraries designed for web scraping. This has led to a significant increase in the use of scraping in diverse fields such as marketing, finance, and data science, where organizations need to analyze large volumes of public data to gain insights and make informed decisions.
