How to parse elements from a site to a page on your site?

Question

PHP

In what ways is it possible to parse site elements (for example, a block of news or traffic / weather from Yandex) and place them as a widget on a page of your site? Similar functionality is implemented on Yandex itself, but it is more in the direction of RSS. I would like some simple solution, almost a dragndrop option.

This depends on the site. If there is no special API, then it will not work.
Well, obviously, in 2 ways - either to make requests to the site from the back-end (curl, etc.), or from the front-end (JS).
What exactly to choose depends on what is needed and what is possible (it is not always possible from JS - the site's cross-domain policy can easily prohibit this)
You can also try Flash, also a front-end...
