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 look into using the `requests` library in Python for fetching data. It's straightforward and handles a lot of edge cases. Combine that with `beautifulsoup4` for parsing, and you can `utf-8` decode using `response.content.decode('utf-8')`. It’s cost-effective and reliable.
