Probably OP means web scraping, but I'm not sure. If you want solve web scraping tasks, the fastest way to do that is imacros addon for chrome or firefox, limitations is one thread of work and low speed based on browser overhead. For complex tasks need python programming language and special libraries.

Just read official web site documentation here https://wiki.imacros.net/Main_Page, it's very good start point. Also there are many youtube videos (search "imacros tutorial"). First thing you should have is task you want to solve, you can try to grab all posts of specified used from BHW for example. When you starting to solve task you getting new questions and you need google answers to move on.

if you need a app to scrape there many so programming not needed.
scrapebox is one that does a lot for marketers and website seo.
there a lot of already made scripts on 'git' for python to do most scrapping jobs .
there also visual browser programming click and point apps available.

If the target you want to scrape doesn't have any protection to scraping , you can just use browser extensions for small amounts of data.
Grepsr is one of them and they give you free trail up to 1000 records, 3 times a month.It's easy to use fool proof extension you just click on the stuff that you want to scrape and give them a name.It also gives you CSV and JSON output.

I strongly disagree with this if you are planning to do more than just view a bunch of data. This wouldn't be ideal if you want to export data as well.

I know you can use those stuff interchangeably. But scrappy is for scrapping and crawling. It is not built for parsing.
Now, beautifulsoup is made for html parsing. But you can't use beautifulsoup on javascript heavy webistes. That's where selenium shines.
Op, asked for parsing: that's why I didn't suggest scrappy.
