Scrapy is an open source programming library for web crawling and web page text extraction, written in Python. You can make calls to Scrapy code from within your own scripts and applications to automate the task of extracting data from websites.
You would typically use Scrapy to automate the task of visiting one or more web pages, on a website to which you have access. You could alternately use it to invoke web-based Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Scrapy can download everything it encounters or selected information. One of its capabilities is being able to extract structured data from web pages, such as one or more individual pieces of text from specific locations on the page, or all of the data in a table.

Apache Subversion Version System (SVN) is an open source version control system. Access and revision to objects are carefully controlled, to prevent unauthorized access and alteration. Developers use SVN to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation.
Their Vision:
Subversion exists to be universally recognized and adopted as an open-source, centralized version control system characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.
Features:
Version support for all files and directories in repository, enabling administrator to track changes that have occurred and obtain earlier versions of files
Renamed/copied/moved/removed files retain full revision history
Free-form versioned metadata
Atomic commits
Merge tracking
File locking
Changelists to organize commits into commit groups
Preservation of file attributes, such as executable and read/write status
