Editorial Workflows

URL as text using Requests

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Demonstration of getting text of HTML file using Requests instead of urllib which generates too many Unicode errors.
