Is .jsEval part of vanilla VBA or from a library of some sort? I googled and absolutely nothing came up in regards to this method.
If you're interested in XPath/ QuerySelectors, there is another VBA + Chrome project on Github which seeks to do much the same thing, though I haven't looked to see if there is jsEval equivalent, though there might be. But it definitely allows for QuerySelection of DOM elements; the following is an example from the project:

- Looking for something to do
- VBA And The WebDriver Dilemma
- [EXCEL] VBA Macro integration with Chrome.

Collect data every hour from API databases
Power query may or may not be suitable depending on the way that the API needs to be queried. VBA could also work but doesn't have great libraries available for working with standard web content. You could look at 3rd party VBA library like https://github.com/VBA-tools/VBA-Web .

Download XLSX-File from SharePoint to Local folder?
If you find you need to work with the SharePoint API's like Microsoft Graph https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/overview then you will need to be able to make web requests and process the responses. The VBA ecosystem is not really designed to work with content on the internet. It can be done via e.g. WinHTTP https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winhttp/about-winhttp or VBA-Web https://github.com/VBA-tools/VBA-Web

IE automation with VBA
