Scraping has multiple meanings.

Web scraping is a specific type of scraping, but data via APIs or even torrents could be considered a scrape, even if that data is nicely structured.

The commonality between them is they all have the implication that:

• the data harvesting is automated
• the data you harvest is not owned by you, and you don’t have explicit permission to use it
• the scope of what you harvest is broad and not targeted at retrieving specific limited pieces of data

Any access patterns that broadly correspond to this could be considered scraping.
