Scrapy is a Python framework for building web crawlers and scrapers that can extract data from websites at scale. It handles common crawling tasks like request management, response parsing, and data pipelines, allowing developers to focus on defining what data to extract rather than managing the underlying HTTP and networking details. Developers use Scrapy when they need to efficiently collect structured data from multiple web pages or entire websites.
