How Price Scraping Works A Step-by-Step Guide

• Price scraping is a systematic process that
  involves gathering pricing information from
  competitor websites. Here's an
  easy-to-understand breakdown of how it works
• Sending Requests
• A web scraper or bot initiates the process by
  sending an HTTP request to the target website.
• This request retrieves the webpages HTML
  content, where the pricing data is embedded.
• Parsing the HTML
• Once the HTML is obtained, it needs to be parsed.
  Parsing is the process of navigating through the
  HTML code to locate the desired information, such
  as product prices.
• Extracting Data
• After parsing, the relevant data, like the price
  of a specific product, is extracted from the
  page. For example, if you're tracking a
  particular smartphone, the scraper will find and
  retrieve the price from its product page.
