A data analyst needs to track competitor pricing for a new product line. To accomplish this, the analyst deploys a script that automatically visits several e-commerce websites daily to extract and save pricing information into a local database. Which data collection method does this process describe?
Web scraping
Observation
Sampling
Survey
The practice of using specialized scripts to automatically gather data from websites is called web scraping. It fetches content automatically for further study. A survey involves questioning participants, sampling focuses on selecting subsets of data or people, and observation requires direct monitoring of actions or events.
