!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] (or [Screen Scraping]) is a technique in which a computer program extracts [data] from human-readable output coming from another program without the use of an [Application Programming Interface] ([API]) or [Software Development Kit] ([SDK]).
[{$pagename}] is distinguished from regular parsing as the output being obtained was intended for display to an end-user, rather than as input to another program, and is therefore usually neither documented nor structured for convenient parsing.
[{$pagename}] often involves ignoring [binary] data (usually images or multimedia data), display formatting, redundant labels, superfluous commentary, and other information which is either irrelevant or hinders automated processing.
[{$pagename}] is subject to failure if the screen output changes.
[{$pagename}] is often part of a [Data Extraction Transformation] process.
!! [Web scraping]
[Web scraping] is [{$pagename}] used for extracting [data] from [websites].
