Hi Johnny Doe,
It seems that the noted NodeJS library (node-osmosis) would parse HTML and thus easily extract parts of the HTML into JSON so that this data can be saved in Kinvey.
From your question I would assume that you are not only looking at storing the data in Kinvey, but also using Kinvey as a run-time environment to run your web scraper service on a regular (scheduled) basis. If that is the case, then you may use Kinvey Flexservice Runtime which is a NodeJS server-less run-time environment where you may execute a Kinvey Flex Service. In this service you may use the node-osmosis library to scrape the website and then save the data to Kinvey. To run this microservice on a regular basis you would use Kinvey Scheduled Code.
The Kinvey FlexService Runtime is available with our Business and Enterprise plans.
I hope this has answered your question.
