Remote Web Scraping/Evidence
Method evidence record

Remote Web Scraping

Remote web scraping is a data collection approach in which automated scripts or bots harvest publicly accessible web content — text, tables, metadata, or links — running on remote servers or cloud infrastructure rather than on the researcher's local machine. This separation allows continuous, large-scale, or geographically distributed crawling that local setups cannot sustain, making it particularly suited to longitudinal or high-volume data collection tasks.
