Data scraping how to correctly target element? Cheerio

I have a pet project that I want to scrape data from sites, I am fairly new to element selector. How can I correctly target the first row of this table?

Here is my code below. Is there any easy way to target elements using inspect and then right clicking "copy selector" in this case it was #r4WMCJ > div > div:nth-child(1) > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) but that did not print anything.

const axios = require('axios');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const pretty = require('pretty');

const getElement = async () => {
  try {
      const { data } = await axios.get("https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nasdaq-aapl/exchange- 
      volume/")
      const $ = cheerio.load(data)
      const table = $("#divId")
      console.log(pretty(table.html()))
  } catch (error) {}
};

getElement()

Selector was incorrect. Obtained the data with tbody > :nth-child(2) > :nth-child(2)
