How to make a server for parsing (grabbing) site data for an application?

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon.
I need to update the data in the application by parsing the site. There is not a lot of data, but there are quite a lot of pages, and you need to do this once every 3-5 days, preferably every day. I was offered to parse the data on the server side and then merge the processed data into the application. I didn't deal with the server side.
How and on what is it better to do it? Are there free servers for such purposes?

Answer 1

Anything can be a server, you can do it in php and hang it on any hosting, you can rent a vps and run linux or windows on it with the necessary software. Depends on needs.
