scraping
Dragging across roughly
Scraping is the act of dragging something hard or sharp across a surface, often producing a harsh sound: the scraping of chairs on the floor.
It removes material by abrasion: scraping ice off the windshield, scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Scrapings are the bits removed this way.
In computing, scraping means extracting data from websites automatically: web scraping, data scraping.
