This project provides a simple, flexible template for scraping a single web page using JavaScript. It fetches the HTML, parses it with Cheerio, and outputs structured data—perfect for quick extraction tasks, lightweight projects, or turning a static page into usable information. If you want a no-frills way to scrape headings or customize extraction logic, this scraper gives you a clean starting point.

You can easily modify it to pull any type of data—tables, lists, metadata, or structured page components.
- Fetch HTML from any publicly accessible URL.
- Parse headings or swap in custom selectors for tailored extraction.
- Extend the template into a full scraper with minimal effort.
- Use Axios and Cheerio for fast, lightweight processing.
