The internet contains a huge amount of useful data but most is not easily accessible. Web scraping involves extracting this data from websites into a structured format.

Here are some typical use cases for web scraping:

• Extract business contact details from Yellow Pages into a CSV spreadsheet
• Extract reviews from Google Places into a MySQL database
• Extract product prices from Amazon so your company can price match
• Track what people are saying about your product on Twitter and Facebook
