Bing Search API "&#39" appending to response

Question

I am using the Bing Search API and this string of characters "&#39" is being appended to the name and description, is this simply because i am only using a Free Trial version or is the json not being parsed properly?

`search_url = "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/search"
headers = {"Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" : subscription_key}
params  = {"q": search_term, "textDecorations": False, "textFormat": "HTML"}
response = requests.get(search_url, headers=headers, params=params)
response.raise_for_status()
response_dict = response.json()`

'name': 'What Is Filecoin and Why Is the Cryptocurrency's Price Going Up?',

1. List item

Thank you for you response to my question, I am a beginner, I found my problem was not with the API or with Json parsing, but It was Django rendering the HTML, I fixed the problem by adding

{% autoescape on %}  
{ name | safe }}  
{ description | safe }}  
{% endautoescape %}

Hello,

I just tried in my end and I can receive the right result with/without the "hypertext". But from my testing, "&#39" can not be translated correct to ('). You can use (') directly. Two things may help:

1. The result shows only descriptions in the sample code
2. You could set up the language with mkt = "en-US" in params

I am sharing my JSON result for your reference:

And also my code:

import json  
import os  
import requests  
  
subscription_key = "****************************"  
assert subscription_key  
  
search_url = "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/search"  
search_term = "What Is Filecoin and Why Is the Cryptocurrency's Price Going Up?"  
  
mkt = 'en-US'  
headers = {"Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" : subscription_key}  
params  = {"q": search_term, "textDecorations": True, "textFormat": "HTML", 'mkt': mkt}  
response = requests.get(search_url, headers=headers, params=params)  
response.raise_for_status()  
search_results = response.json()  
  
descriptions = [article["description"] for article in search_results["value"]]  
print(response.json())  
  
from IPython.display import HTML  
rows = "\n".join(["<tr><td>{0}</td></tr>".format(desc) for desc in descriptions])  
HTML("<table>"+rows+"</table>")  

Please let me know if you have any question.
