This is one of the reasons I really like that some webpages have taken to using JSON REST endpoints to provide the data for their (usually React-based) webpage. It makes it fantastically easy to circumvent all the complicated stuff and just directly access the data.
It's somewhat of a shame that HTML never quite managed to split data from representation. It managed to separate content and styling, but the content is still treated as some kind of text document, not a textual representation of some data.
