i am trying to scrape data from an anime website but I don't think it works , i am new to node , though I guess maybe because the website detects it as a bot , so is there any way to scrape data from an anime website known https://zoro.to
That’s not how you scrape CSR Webpages, use something like puppeteer https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer
You might want to start with an actual web scraper first before getting into creating an api if your knowledge is sparse. Try learning to use the Puppeteer package and saving the data locally first. Good luck https://pptr.dev/
