A Spider (also known as a web crawler or web (ro)bot) is an automated software tool used by search engines to travel throughout the internet collecting information which it then returns to the search engine’s indices. This process is called Web crawling or spidering. Many sites, in particular search engines, use spidering as a means of providing up-to-date data.
