I want to make a chrome extension which loads an iframe of a different website onto the background page, and interacts with it using JS/jQuery.

Specifically, I want it to search for something on this website (on a different domain) and return the URL of the first result.

I've read about Same-origin policy so I'm pretty sure there is no way to do this, but does anyone have a workaround? Or a different method entirely?

  • [This](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/364952/jquery-javascript-accessing-contents-of-an-iframe#comment2590499_364952) comment sums it up pretty nicely. The browser prohibits it for a purpose. A proxy is probably your only option. – Ivar Aug 30 '17 at 14:49
