Web Page Retrieval is the process of fetching web pages from the internet. This involves sending HTTP requests to a web server and receiving responses containing the HTML content of the requested pages. Web page retrieval is the first step in web scraping, providing the raw data that will be analyzed and extracted. Tools and libraries like Python's Requests, Scrapy, and Selenium are commonly used for web page retrieval. Managing aspects such as handling redirects, managing cookies, and dealing with different response codes are essential for successful web page retrieval in scraping operations.
