jack To be clear... This is only possible for code not running within a modern browser. That is... unless the code is being applied to a website on the same origin or there is a cross origin resource sharing (CORS) policy on the target domain for the current domain.

jack My apologies. Ajax doesn't work in a way to extract data from another web pages rather it's useful to extract data from an api. You can't get website data just using jQuery get or ajax method coz CORS won't let you do that. Your try seems well coz we must use cross-domain tools such as anyorigin, allorigins or any other similar to scrape a website.

Use regex to further extract the data

jack You can implement this via any number of server side solutions. You can search for examples on any of the following: (with a few options that come to mind) "HTTP Request PHP" - cURL - fopen - file_get_contents "HTTP Request .NET" - WebRequest "HTTP Request NodeJS" - request() - https.get() - SuperAgent You get the point. Note... The response body is a string that will need to be parsed. You can either do this using various string search methods or load via HTML Parsing Library. You'll need to search for available parsers for your specific language.

jack Possible? Absolutely! However, depending on the authentication strategy used on a given website, it can get quite involved. Most commercial websites implement thorough integration tests that would include the automatation for logging in and doing everything else you would want to simulate a user's experience on a website.

I don't think you can access the exact visual data from a website but sure you can extract data from a website or a link by using jQuery Ajax.

If you just need written data then I think you should go with Ajax.
