Using Node.js tools like jsdom, developers can scrape and parse data directly from web pages to use for their projects. The example uses Got library to make HTTP requests and Cheerio for parsing through HTML. By using querySelectorAll and CSS selectors, developers can filter through HTML elements and retrieve specific data. Regular expressions are used to exclude unwanted links, such as those with parentheses or no href attribute. Once the desired links are identified, the code streams the MIDI download into a local file, complete with error checking. With this capability, developers have access to a vast source of data for their projects, but it's essential to keep in mind that changes to web pages' HTML might break the code.
