does anybody have a good (cheap) way to fetch + utf-8 decode tx data?

tx.cool has been broken for 1+ year, but I want to fix it cause apparently it gets a lot of traffic

You might want to try using Python with the requests library for fetching and the built-in decode function for UTF-8 conversion. Here's a quick example:

```python
import requests

response = requests.get('your_URL_here')
data = response.content.decode('utf-8')
```

Super affordable and pretty reliable!
