Get value from a aspx website using cheerio

I want to get a value in this website

But it's a aspx website and the value will change time by time so it's generate by script (i think) so here's the point

I wrote a script (see below):

var express = require('express');
var fs      = require('fs');
var request = require('request');
var cheerio = require('cheerio');
var app     = express();

app.get('/scrape', function(req, res){
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
    res.write("<meta charset=\"utf-8\"><h1>");
  // Let's scrape Anchorman 2
  url = 'https://taqm.epa.gov.tw/taqm/aqi-map.aspx';

  request(url, function(error, response, html){
    if(!error){
      var $ = cheerio.load(html);
// console.log(cheerio.load(html));
      var title, release, rating;
      var json = { title : "", release : "", rating : ""};

      $('.aqiArea').filter(function(){
        var data = $(this);
        title = data.children().first().text().trim();
        res.write(title);
      })
res.write(": ")
      $('#lb_AQI.right').filter(function(){
        var data = $(this);
        dis = data.first().text().trim();

        res.write(dis);
      })
    }
    // res.send('Check your console!')
    res.end("</h1>");
  })
})

app.listen('8081')
console.log('Magic happens on port 8081');

And with this code it can only get the source of aspx but can't get the current value

So how can I get the current value of the ASPX website using node.js?
