What is web crawling?

[juliaalan]

Web crawling is the process of indexing data on web pages by using a program or automated script. These automated scripts or programs are known by multiple names, including web crawler, spider, spider bot, and often shortened to crawler.

Web crawlers copy pages for processing by a search engine, which indexes the downloaded pages so that users can search more efficiently. The goal of a crawler is to learn what webpages are about. This enables users to retrieve any information on one or more pages when it’s needed.

Web crawlers work by discovering URLs and viewing and categorizing web pages. In the process, they find hyperlinks to other web pages and add them to the list of pages to crawl next. Web crawlers are smart enough to determine the importance of each web page.
