What happens after scraping?

Web scraping is a method of collecting and supplying quality data, and applying various techniques that depend on data. Any faculty or domain that involves data provides the opportunity to learn and grow as data collected from scraping is used for many other tasks such as analysis, reporting, dataset creation, and mining. Web-scraping-related techniques have always been dynamic and challenging, alongside the growth of web-based technologies.

Systems based on data, returning raw data, processed data, and visualization plots, in the form of images and videos, are growing by involving global audiences in multiple forms. Information technology (IT)-driven systems are core applications used in all industries, and Python programming has played a major role in the development and processing of data-related systems.
