title: Lightest single page scraper
body: <p>There is some website that publishes some everchanging data. There is no api but I need to access that value programmatically in js. This is a common problem for me.</p>
  
  <p>I am writing a simple js script(HTML/js) <a href="https://github.com/praneethmendu/hackyAPI/blob/master/hack.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">hackyAPI</a>, HTML/js or client side is enough for any manipulations I want to do on the data.</p>
  
  <p>But the problem is XMLHttpRequest and cross server permissions. I do not want to introduce server elements just for this. Is there is a workaround considering I just want a typical html respone ?</p>
