What are common web crawling tools?

Answer

Common web crawling tools include Scrapy, Apache Nutch, Playwright, Puppeteer, and managed crawler platforms. Scrapy and Nutch are strong for large‑scale HTML crawling and scheduling. Playwright and Puppeteer are better when you need JavaScript rendering. Managed platforms reduce infrastructure work but add usage costs. Your choice depends on scale, dynamic content, and operational complexity. Many teams mix tools to cover different page types.
