Can you scrape the url from this website?

I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could create a website that is quite challenging to scrape. I got an idea and built a simple website. Can you scrape it?

Some things you should know:

  1. There is no encryption going on.
  2. The deobfuscator.js is not really doing anything. It was generated by a tool (wasm-pack) to load up the wasm bin, so you can safely ignore it
  3. The URL isn't hard-coded into the wasm bin. it's inside the HTML but encoded and obfuscated.
  4. You are not allowed to use selenium.

website URL: https://scrape-my-secret.vercel.app
Also, the code isn't open-source yet for obvious reasons. I will open-source it when I think it's time.

Good luck!
