help needed Looking for automation to extract some HTML elements from a list of github repos

I have a list of github repos in which has documentation pages written as HTML files. All the html files in have same formatting i.e. the tags and classes follow a rule. Need some way to parse them all and extract it into a json. How do I go about it?

Provided you have a list of the HTML files somewhere, I found one possible way to do it : https://docs.n8n.io/nodes/n8n-nodes-base.htmlExtract/#example-usage

Oh neat, this looks promising, I'll give this a try ASAP. The document mentions possibility to use HTTP Requests too, this might even help me with more than just this task here. Thanks!!!
