A simple client-side web scraper setup.

clientside-webscraper.js

import axios from 'axios'

// a proxy server is not always needed for all sites
// though in some cases, sites will restrict access to those that are not same-origin
// in such case, proxy servers can be used to bypass, as seen here using https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/.

axios.get('https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://designboom.com', { crossdomain: true }).then((response) => {
  
  // returns raw html which can be used subsequently as DOM nodes
	console.log(response.data)

})
