“Scraping” vs. “Scrapping”: Is there a difference? [closed] – Stack Overflow
Many people in my company (and online) seem to use the words “scrape” and “scrap”, as well as “scraping” and “scrapping” to refer to collecting data from a website/websites, to be used for various purposes.
I can’t tell whether there is some nuance between the two uses, or whether the uses are completely interchangeable. I’ve searched around online, but haven’t found a clear answer.
Is “web scrapping” an actual thing?
Does it have a distinct meaning from “web scraping”?
Is it simply a typo that has taken over, like “for all intensive purposes”?

“Scrapping” is fighting or throwing something out, typically something that’s reached end of life. “Scraping” is the correct term. If anyone’s calling it “scrapping” they’re just using an unfortunately common mis-spelling.
If you’re feeling vigilant you might want to correct this any place you find it if it doesn’t break a lot of code.

They are two different words. One comes from “scrap” (a noun: a leftover piece of something). The other comes from scrape (a verb: to rub, rake, or scratch something, usually with an instrument. )
