What is the primary function of the Data Scraping wizard?

The primary function of the Data Scraping wizard is to extract correlated data from the web or other applications. This tool is particularly designed for scenarios where structured information is presented in a tabular or list format, such as on websites or within applications. It identifies and retrieves this data efficiently, allowing RPA developers to automate the process of gathering relevant information for further processing or integration into other systems.

The Data Scraping wizard utilizes techniques to navigate through the HTML structure of web pages or the layout of applications to capture the necessary data points. This capability enables the extraction of specific values that are often used for data analysis, reporting, or feeding into automated workflows.

Other options do not align with the main purpose of the Data Scraping wizard. For instance, extracting binary data pertains more to file manipulation or processing content that is not represented as structured data, while unstructured data refers to information that lacks a predefined format or organization, making it more complex to handle than the cleanly structured data the wizard targets. Compiling data from multiple sources into one database is a broader process that might involve Data Scraping but is not the exclusive function of the wizard, which focuses specifically on the extraction aspect.
