Querying the Godot documentation website? Is that possible? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I want to integrate the online documentation a bit nicer into the editor itself. Is it somehow possible to query that page and get the contents of the searched-for entries?

Best case would be, if we can get the queried site content as JSON, that'd be nice, but very unlikely I think.

It is true that the editor has the build in class reference. I have already tried to retrieve the text from when that pops up, and I have managed to do that partly, however it doesn't segment anything. The reason why I want a cool format like JSON or maybe YAML is that I can parse it and separate it into variables, which can then be nicely display in smaller UI elements.

::: spoiler secret reason why I want to segment the docs (CW: overhyped topic) Okay, don't tell this to anyone, because many people don't want to hear anything about this topic, which is reasonable: it's abnoxious and overhyped.
