Swift get content text response after send request to web service

I know how to get data response from url. But the data response contains html sourceenter image description here. Although I can handle it to get what I need but will be better if I know how to get only text. I use:

    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request)
    {
        data, response, error in guard
            let data = data, error == nil else
        {
            // check for fundamental networking error
            print(error!)
            return
        }
        result = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) ?? ""
    }
    task.resume()

Unless the endpoint has an option (like a query parameter) to return only the text, then you will get whatever the server wants to send and you will need to sort it out client side.

You could do it like this.

let text = String(decoding: data, as: UTF8.self) // Convert data to string
    .components(separatedBy: "\n")               // Split string into multiple line 
    .first                                       // Get the first line
