Isn't scrapy easier to use than this?

Cheerio is really easy for anyone familiar with jQuery (most node.js devs I would imagine).

its probably more organized and easier to read than a huge number of nested callbacks

there's a lot of better ways to do this. Most of them involve documented standards so your code doesn't break the moment someone changes something.
