Is there a way to extract the text from the content of a webpage? (Example: [Vitor Santos Guimarães on Instagram: "Agora é oficial! Engenheiro Sanitarista e Ambiental! 🎓 #colação #ufsc"](https://www.instagram.com/tv/BXpBXJAArRw/?__a=1))

I’m not an expert in the area, so I apologize if it is a stupid question.

You’d need to use some sort of web scraping service. If you wanted to do this dynamically (eg a user enters a URL and the text is displayed in the app), then you’ll need to use this web scraper service in coordination with a fetch plug-in column. Not for novices.

I would use Txtify [https://txtify.it/](https://txtify.it/) Works great!
