Why do you need to scrape data from a website, and for what use? It's for the first, not a good idea. Using others content could be illegal. Secondary, websites change. If the website you are scraping would change their layout a bit your scrape tool would stop working. Scraping is therefore usually (nearly always) not a good idea. Be sure to ask the website owner if it's ok for you to scrape their website. Also it would help if you could give us some info about what you are going to be scraping and why.
