Muhtasari	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.	Web scraping is a computational data collection technique in which software automatically retrieves and extracts structured or semi-structured content from websites. Widely used in social science, computational linguistics, economics, and information science, it enables researchers to assemble large datasets from publicly accessible web sources — such as news archives, social media platforms, government portals, and online marketplaces — that would be impractical to collect manually.
