Question about Web Scraping

I've been working with Node about 4 years now, so I decided to do a web scraping project, as I've never done that before with Node. So what I'm attempting to do is scrape some stock data from Yahoo Finance.​My current methodology is performing a `GET` on the page I need, and parse it with `cheerio`. When I went to the site (while the market is live), I noticed that the values are being updated real time.​So my question is, does anyone know if it's possible to load in the JS from their site with `cheerio`, then wrap it it some way where I can also be a client to the socket that is emitting updates for the values?​Thanks
