I want to know if it is possible to go to a site and retrieve the text of an element
i think something like
a = page("www.site.com")
b = a.getElementByClass("name")
console.log(b.text)
this is possible?
Yes. It's called the innerText property. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/innerText
That depends,
If you want to get the innerText of the elements, then
let elements = document.getElementsByClassName("YourClassName");
for(let i=0;i<elements.length; i++){
/*doSOmething*/
console.log(elements[i].innerText);
}
Many elements may have same className. So, if you want to access some specific Element, then you should either know the index of the element or you need to use id for the element.
let element = document.getElementById("YourElementId");
/*doSOmething*/
console.log(element.innerText);
