Web scraping is a technique for extracting organised web information from unstructured HTML design data in a ledger sheet or data set.
A data extraction solution, such as NewsData.io's news API, can generate an organised database of data that can be analysed and converted into news. This not only speeds up and simplifies data journalism, but it can also help journalists make better sense of the data because structured data can be filtered, sorted, and processed in a variety of ways without the journalist having to manually scrape data.
