No, Nokogiri isn't capable of that so you need an actual browser runtime. I didn't think a downloadable site would have javascript populating the page with data. But if it's only from JSON embedded in the JS from the HTML then I guess it's still possible to retrieve that and unless it requires some processing a JSON is as good as you can get.

The JSON was encoded (quotes and brackets were both HTML encoded) and couldn't reliably be parsed, or at least not in a way I was satisfied with. Rendering the HTML and actually building out the page as it would normally be rendered and using the parser that I already had built made way more sense. And, at the time, Phantom was the best option I could find for it.
