Here, "scraper" means an automated piece of software to gather up
something from somewhere - usually, email addresses from webpages.
(Why the name, I'm not sure.  Perhaps derived from "scrape together",
meaning approximately "gather", but with a connotation of difficulty;
perhaps derived from the image of scraping something off something
else, the way you might scrape frost off a window, or dried food off a
stove.)
