The process for obtaining specific text data from another website using Vanilla JavaScript is as follows:

  1. Use the XMLHttpRequest() or fetch() method to make an HTTP request to the website's server.
  2. Once the request is successful, parse the HTML of the website using DOM manipulation methods such as getElementById(), getElementsByClassName(), or querySelector().
  3. Use the parsed HTML to locate and extract the specific text data needed. This can be done by accessing the innerText or innerHTML property of the specific HTML elements.
  4. Store the extracted data in a variable or display it on the user interface as required.

Note: It is important to ensure that the website you are trying to extract data from allows scraping and that you are not violating any copyright laws or terms and conditions.
