At this stage, the goals and requirements for site scraping are determined. It is decided where and what information needs to be extracted, and in what format it should be presented. Collection is carried out only from open sources (protection from site viewing by work, for example using captcha, does not make the information private or confidential). Developing a data access strategy, determining page URLs to scrape, or choosing an API to retrieve data from.

Parsing, as a process, can cover a very wide range of tasks, which in turn can vary greatly in complexity. The data source can be:

• Database, structured text file or Excel tables, Google Sheet, etc.
• API service to which you can connect programmatically.
• Static site, when the HTML code of the page (page content) does not change after it is loaded from server and display in the browser.
• Dynamic site, when the content of the page can change as the user interacts with it already after downloading. A typical example, clicking the “Load more…” button when clicked, the page is supplemented with some more information from the server, for example, the selected products categories in the online store.

This list was formed specifically to reflect the increasing complexity of parsing. In the case of website parsing, before starting work on collecting units of information (for example, products), as a rule, it is necessary to create a kind of site map, which will then be used by the robot to crawl an array of links and collect the necessary information from them. Essentially, you first need to write a parser whose purpose will be to create this sitemap. In addition, large amounts of information cannot be collected in one pass, which means a mechanism is needed that takes into account what data has already been collected and from what point to continue the crawl. Next, you need to bring the collected data array to a given structure and format, preferably eliminating duplicates. Sometimes it is necessary to solve more complex problems, for example, to identify and reduce various synonymous data to one unit of information.
