Greetings:

I created a simple Wolfram Cloud API that Imports[] a URL and returns the Plaintext:

ClearAll[urlScraperTest2]
urlScraperTest2 = APIFunction[
   {"url" -> "String"},
   Import[#url, "Plaintext", CharacterEncoding -> "UTF-8"] &];
CloudDeploy[urlScraperTest2, "urlScraperTest2", 
 Permissions -> "Public", CloudObjectNameFormat -> "CloudUserUUID"]

CloudObject["https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/user-7d8eeec4-69a3-4149-\
bc75-10de306a3cbd/urlScraperTest2"]

I was testing the API using a common recipe website: https://anewsletter.alisoneroman.com/p/honk-if-you-love-stuffing

Within Mathematica ("14.0.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (December 13, 2023)"), the API works as expected. All of the formatting is correct as seen on the webpage.

In testing from an empty Chrome browser window directly, i.e., https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/user-7d8eeec4-69a3-4149-bc75-10de306a3cbd/urlScraperTest2?url=https://anewsletter.alisoneroman.com/p/honk-if-you-love-stuffing, I get a result full of escape characters. Here are the first few lines of the output:

While I could write a book on the subject (scroll down[LongDash] I sort of did!) TLDR; The stuffing does not go into the bird (ever). The stuffing does not have meat, though you could add it (sausage, bacon). The stuffing has not been tested with gluten-free bread, though I[CloseCurlyQuote]m sure it would be good if you[CloseCurlyQuote]re accustomed to gluten-free bread. And since you[CloseCurlyQuote]ve asked, I do not have a cornbread stuffing recipe though I do have a great cornbread recipe (it[CloseCurlyQuote]s in Sweet Enough )"

Is it possible to have the API return the result formatted as it appears in a Mathematica notebook? I am presuming this is an issue with character encoding but I haven't had success in decoding it. For background, I am using this API for a workflow in a program outside of Mathematica, and the proper formatting is an important issue.

Thanks!
