How to convert URL into HTML in JavaScript?

Question

I want a HTML document of an URL

I have URL like www.example.com and I want the HTML block of the page of URL. How can I achieve this in JavaScript I read that Java has method like IOUtils.toString to do the same. can somebody suggest me how to do this or what is the method in JavaScript as in Java?

So you want to make an AJAX request to the URL and read the response? — David, Sep 20 '22 at 13:51

You can use:

const res = await fetch("www.example.com", {
  headers:{
    "Content-Type":"text/html"
  }
});

const html = await res.text()

I am getting error that res.text is not a function – Srushti Shah Sep 21 '22 at 04:23
Your GET request has no content and therefore does not require a content-type header. You're also missing the URL scheme (`http://` or `https://`) – Phil Sep 21 '22 at 04:48

I did it using @Augustine Madu's answer I used axios to call url

        const res = await axios({
            method: 'get',
            url: url,
            headers:{
                "Content-Type":"text/html"
            },
        })
        console.log(res.data)
