How this service works
Decode HTML entities (named, decimal and hex numeric references) back into plain text.
Output
Returns the input string with all HTML entities (named like &, decimal like ©, and hexadecimal like ©) replaced by their corresponding plain Unicode characters, producing clean, human-readable text.
Example use cases
Clean scraped product descriptions
“I scraped some product descriptions from a website and they're full of HTML entities like &amp;, <br>, and “. Can you decode them all back into plain readable text?”
Decode HTML-encoded email content
“I'm processing emails pulled from a mail server and the body text has things like &nbsp;, &mdash;, and © all over the place. Decode those HTML entities so I can read the actual message.”
Fix HTML-encoded API response data
“Our third-party API is returning product names with HTML entities in them, like 'Caf&eacute; Delight &amp; Co.' — can you decode those back into the proper Unicode characters?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://html.openverbs.com/v1/decodeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to decode HTML entities from scraped web content, API responses, or stored data back into readable Unicode text. Prefer it over manual regex-based decoding for reliability across all entity types (named, decimal, hex). It complements the sibling encode endpoint on the same platform when you need round-trip HTML entity handling.
