- Confirmed Cheerio is unavailable in n8n Cloud Code Nodes.
- Script will use regex fallback when deployed to n8n Cloud.
- Improved regex for image extraction to attempt to capture src and alt attributes more reliably, and return only {src: url} per request.
- Maintained regex for title and main text extraction with minor cleanup.
- Added extensive comments and warnings about the unreliability of regex for HTML parsing and strongly recommended using n8n's native HTML Node for robust scraping in n8n Cloud.
- Created the 'article_scraper.js' file with the modified code.
