Use node-fetch v2.6 to get HTML of a website

Question

Currently my code is the following:

const fetch = require("node-fetch");

(async function () {
  console.log(await fetch("https://a.website.in-ht.ml"));
})()

However, It is only returning data on the website, as opposed to the HTML. Anyone know what the issue may be?

(As the title says, I am using v2.6 not 3.0+)

Did you try looking at the _body_ of the response? – jonrsharpe May 25 '22 at 20:37 — jonrsharpe, May 25 '22 at 20:37

Try this:

const fetch = require("node-fetch");

(async function () {
  const res = await fetch("https://a.website.in-ht.ml")
  const html = await res.text()
  console.log(html)
})()

This takes the text response instead of the full response.

`TypeError: res.body.text is not a function` Doesn't seem to work – AnotherPillow May 26 '22 at 10:32
Sorry about that. It should just be res.text(). I fixed it now. – ztcollazo May 26 '22 at 21:01
