What is scrapy?

Scrapy is a Python framework for large-scale web scraping. Unlike BeautifulSoup, which parses individual pages, Scrapy manages the full crawling workflow: following links, handling pagination, managing request queues, and exporting data. It is used when scraping requires collecting data from many pages across a site.
