How can i convert html entities in my twitter bot?-CodePudding

i'm a begginer programmer and i'm having troubles with my twitter bot. The idea of the bot is tweet an daily verse of bible everyday, and that's what I got so far:

import tweepy
import requests

api = tweepy.Client(
    consumer_key='',
    consumer_secret='',
    access_token='-',
    access_token_secret='',
)
response = requests.get("https://www.biblegateway.com/votd/get/?format=json&version=NVI-PT")
verse_of_the_day = response.json()["votd"]["text"]

try:
    tweet=api.create_tweet(text=("Aqui está o versículo do dia: \n")   verse_of_the_day)
    print(tweet)
except:
    print("something is wrong")

the problem is that some characters appear as HTML entity and not as the "character itself" and what I hope is to fix these characters that are in html entity

CodePudding user response：

You can unescape the HTML entities using the html.unescape() function

import tweepy
import requests
import html

api = tweepy.Client(
    consumer_key='',
    consumer_secret='',
    access_token='-',
    access_token_secret='',
)
response = requests.get("https://www.biblegateway.com/votd/get/?format=json&version=NVI-PT")
verse_of_the_day = html.unescape(response.json()["votd"]["text"]) #unescapes the string

try:
    tweet=api.create_tweet(text=("Aqui está o versículo do dia: \n")   verse_of_the_day)
    print(tweet)
except:
    print("something is wrong")
