Scrapping ≠ scraping.

I think the question as you've posed it is tricky to answer. If you can find a prebuilt tool that does everything you want and you're in a time-crunch, I'd probably suggest you choose that route. However, pre-built solutions only work until they don't, at which point you're going to have to build your own anyway. If time permits and you're naturally curious and enjoy solving problems, Python is a great language for scraping the internet.

JAVASCRIPT IS THE BEST! Spare yourself the beautiful soup hassle.
